Is this cheating? Creating fake targets for enemy arty?

You guys have way too much time on your hands if you have the time to rename your units!

I agree that the Combat Mission way is superior in that you know there is something out there and that it is a tank or infantry running around, but you don't know exact what or where. This is also an approach that Squad Leader took. Given the age of the Steel Panthers game engine, I doubt you could tweak the program to make this change, but I'll leave it to those who know more about programming to make the definitive statement on this issue.

Hi Stan, how's things, a long time since we had a game!!

I think renaming is legit and can be fun as Steve says - I like it when Wulfir renames his company commanders "Kp" (as least I think he does, maybe it's a bluff :) )

I've often thought the ability to click on a unit and see it's armament is too revealling, eg having a look at scouts to see if they carry RPG-7's before deciding how much to move your AFVs up to tackle them........
