Stupid things I have done...

[Copper]

The age old dumb screwup where you use the "Move" command to a waypoint that potentially crosses an enemy unit in the woods ahead of you. Upon getting shot, they hit the ground and continue to "crawl" forward in an attempt to continue to their waypoint, instead of stopping and returning fire, effectively gutting them by one man for every extra inch they move.

Using the "contact" command stops them short upon getting shot at so they can return fire, but also will often leave you hanging when a single shot or shell landing nearby will halt an entire company of "contact" moving infantry. This often results in beer bottles being hucked at the monitor as your infantry who should have ended the turn at the end of your waypoint, dolefully stopped 5m from where they began because "someone heard a bang somewhere".

At least moving them with an advance command would have allowed them to shoot back, although they would have continued to move forward and get reduced further.

Cheers!
