Everybody probably knows this...

... 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.

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.

no wonder i have squads in a Stalingrad Battle not moving...
Thanx for the tip :cool:

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.
