Everybody probably knows this... - fluidwill - 05-14-2008 ... but i didn't, so; Captured units trigger the "contact" in Move to Contact. This can be (and was) a tad annoying! Basically, a unit ordered to MtC within LOS of a captured unit will stop and you will lose a turns movement. Learn something new every day, sigh. RE: Everybody probably knows this... - Nort - 05-14-2008 I did not know that. Thanks for the tip. RE: Everybody probably knows this... - Maakt Droog - 05-14-2008 Ditto. Thanks for the tip, too. RE: Everybody probably knows this... - wigam - 05-14-2008 Nice tip fluidwill. Thanks :) RE: Everybody probably knows this... - McIvan - 05-14-2008 I didn't know that either....thanks mate, good tip :) RE: Everybody probably knows this... - Jobu88 - 05-16-2008 Something else everyone probably knows: If you assign troops a "move to contact" order, and give them a covered arc, only enemy inside the arc will trigger them to halt. Of course, you run the risk of them ignoring a previously-unseen threat that pops into view outside their arc, or continuing to advance out of cover and into the open when you wish they'd stop. RE: Everybody probably knows this... - gangofmao - 05-16-2008 no wonder i have squads in a Stalingrad Battle not moving... Thanx for the tip :cool: GoM RE: Everybody probably knows this... - Randalll - 05-17-2008 Also, its any contact. An single 'ghost' infantry at the far end of the board will stop everybody dead, like a hundred guys and tanks will just dive to the ground because someone thought they say an enemy soldier. Move to contact is great but it has its limitations.
