AMBUSH Feature needed

[CptCav]

In a MC game that I am playing, I had a WarPac tank battalion and MRB traveling down a highway in travel mode and they were ambushed! Two M1 battalions and two attack helicopter units, previously unseen, engaged the WarPac units with defensive fire at a two hex range. The results were horrific. The TkB suffered approximately 50% losses and went into the red fatigue. The MRB suffered over 50% losses and was broken.

So, ambushes do happen.

However, what I would like to see is a bonus given to defensive fire depending on the level of preparedness. For example, a unit in improved position would get a 10-20% increase and one in entrenched positions would get a 20-40% bonus (note, that the bonuses for IP and entrenched units are the same as the detriment for being shot at). This would represent the effort put into preparing fire plans, clearing zones of fire, registering fire, etc. Right now, the advantages generally lie with the attacker, more value should be placed on units defending. As it is now, the attacker does not need to have the generally accepted 3-to-1 odds to defeat a defending unit. :boom2: In game terms, you just need to have a simple superiority to generally win an engagement.:2guns:
