Do you use Gridded Terrain mod

[Corsair]

I often played solo using Franko's True Combat Rules - must still be on my disk somewhere -, where you play at level 1 and can only rotate view around your units, except level 2 if they are in a 2 stories building or 3 if up in a church... HQs, Arty spotters with binos and tanks with optics can use zoom x 8.
It makes the game very different and gives the AI a chance...

To find your way around, you print or make a pic of the map at game start. Played with small scenarios, I find it challenging and lots of fun.
