Company commander bug/exploit

[DRG]

True the number of '0' units would stand out on the review screen at the end but still not in the same obvious way bumping into multiple snipers at every engagement during the battle would.

My point is you would have to suspect something was wrong that would not be as obvious during the game and someone sneaking in a few extra major's would fly under most players radars.

I'm not sure where the "security" aspect was introduced into the discussion before this. The problem has NOTHING to do with PBEM security and any solution we might decide on, which could be as simple as changing the '0' units colour in the review screen to make them more obvious to reducing the rank of any company sized unit that is reduced to the command squad or any number of other ways this could be made either more obvious or impossible, would NOT involve PBEM security in any way.

Don,

I wasn't talking about PBEM security.

A paraphrase of that sentence could be:

My point was more that opponents who want to cheat, be gamey, or exploit the game will always find a way. I'd rather play a decent opponent without exploitation countermeasures, than a cheat on a game with exploitation countermeasures.

Sorry for the confusion.

I think the real reason of the this thread,is to stop exploiting the game.

It causes others to do the same,then you got a bunch of numbnuts doing the same thing,Thus ruining it for everyone.

Mulptile CO's would be very hard to detect.

The cat's out of the bag now.

I hope this issue will be fixed next patch,until then i will suspend playing pbem, unless a tournament or 3rd party set-up.

To be more specific,

I applaude anyone who uses legit tactics on winning, in fact i learn something from it.

But cheats and exploits just undermine the spirit of the game
