Default Re: Overwatch Feature wish

Whilst I find it commendable that anyone strives to elicit more activity on the forums - I cannot support this idea, sorry.

From a game prospective you add a lot of complication, and automation for no real advantage. Turns would take longer to play as the AI fires all it's AND YOUR units (despite you perhaps wanting to save shots to cover the enemies turn. We the players will feel that we aren't in control of our forces. Remember this is a game NOT a simulation... And is a IGOUGO format.

In reality, forces above a section size, don't tend to use overwatch as you describe (most armies discourage firing over/past their own troops). Generally they would advance under smoke and covering fire (i.e. z fire) into the treeline from an oblique position.
