Facing - Infantry

[Gerry1]

Hi. I know the importance of facing in tank combat. I see that the infantry also have a facing. Does this affect combat against them, e.g. if an enemy is shooting from behind them, or from the side, will that result in more suppression/damage? Thanks.

With infantry, facing affects spotting of hidden units, which is most effectively conducted in the forward arc. Thus, sometimes you may spot new units by simply rotating your observing unit on the spot.

If you approach an enemy unit from a rear hex, its less likely to spot your unit, especially if it is suppressed.
