FASCAM - Gamey or not?

[Liebchen]

Disrupted or not, a ground unit when faced with certain destruction would not hesitate to "breakout" through an attack helicopter unit.

Which frankly could not hold ground anyway, (and should not impede movement of ground units, another topic).

The first point is mere conjecture supported, perhaps, by projected esprit de corps. In reality, units faced with rock/hard place choices often wave the white flag, as you know. Think about the fact that (for example) a game piece can't retreat into a mine field. Sure, in real life they could say "screw the mines, I'm taking my chances in the minefield instead of taking a bullet over here." In game terms, however, there is a mix of casualties from those taking this route and POWs as the rest surrender in droves, as represented by the high number of "kills" when assaulted units can't retreat.

As for the second point, I agree that copters should not hold ground. On the other hand, I imagine running through a field being strafed by Hinds might appear fairly similar to the above minefield.

I'm not saying that I would use these tactics, guys, only that they don't seem to be any great departure or perversion of the game system.
