Spotting and unit quality - does it matter?

[PoorOldSpike]

1- If by "wasting your time" you mean "spending it somewhere where people might actually disagree with you instead of just being slack-jawed in amazement at your 'credentials'"....

2 - There does seem to be a random element to spotting (contra my earlier conclusion) - units were spotted at different distances each time.

Yes that's what I said, there's a random element running through everything in CM.. :)
