Game Mechanics

[Colonel Talvela]

i study the rules carefully. But i dont micromanage to the meter hardly ever. For example, probably one of the most important mechanical rules is to keep 20m of spacing between units. I know that, and I try to space my units, but I cant remember actually doing that in a game. For armor fights I just look at the color of the penetration tables - or put some units in an editor and see how they do against each other.

I have heard of extreme examples of number guys - F amount of firepower for S seconds to break a regular unit in woods. Cross reference map grids to find location of sound contacts. I dont even get close to that.


So i consider myself an instinct player, who knows the rules very well.


That being said, I probably do the most 'mechanics' during defense setups - looking at spacing of foxholes, etc.

Now I do study the map and look for terrain advantages there. But I consider that somewhat different then what bootie was talking about.
