Splitting infantry

[Kelen]

You guys still talking about this one?

Well what a surprise, a whole passel of people I now know never to play...

I really do not see what your issue is here.

CM is a 'Wargame', and as such often the best tactics to use are what was/are actually used in real life.

So far various people have stated their reasons for splitting squads and so far I have yet to see any of them which I would even remotely be termed as 'gamey'.

Splitting squads, (dispersing your troops), to minimise the effects of your opponents firepower is not gamey, but common sense. You'll be saying next that mounting your troops in APCs is also gamey, after all it has the same effect.

Want do you want your opponent to do, line all his squads up in close order and walk them towards the enemy across open ground making no use of any available cover, ala the early stages of WWI?

At the end of the day it's your choice who you play against, so if you choice not to play against anyone that uses such 'gamey' tactics then so be it.
