Nifty little tip...

There are several gamey bugs/cheats available to be used. No one forces any of us to use them, and if you do not want to yourself, then don't. Make sure your opponent is aware and agrees to the terms of the game before you start, that way both players will be on a level playing field. I prefer to play with the "detailed armour hits" off, and not to select enemy units for information, as well as only directing fire from units in Command-using the "next target" button only. If my opponent agrees to the terms then I expect him to stick to his word, if we don't discuss terms then I know that I will be at some disadvantage but expect that all will be done to gain an advantage over me.

That's a recipe for disappointment outside of your usual gaming buddies. I think the abstracted nature of the game explains this very well through the ability of leaders to use their binocs to see what has really happened to that icon. The game uses these devices for people to better judge the enemy's condition, and evaluate the battle for making decisions. I see nothing wrong in it. Once you start making artificial and very hard to monitor rules for these sort of things, you begin to lose the essence of what makes this game truly brilliant and unique.

my 2 cents.

Cheers!
