LOS a Problem Maybe ?

[Hawk Kriegsman]

No Ed you just out type everybody and people give up because the threads just deteriorate into your view forced upon us.
Propaganda works that way, say it often enough and people will believe you.

I believe this is what is known as a personal attack.

It's quiet simple really the LOS issue.
In the Game you can do what no human can do on the battlefield.
You can see the LOS from any hex you left click on, even kilometers away, behind hills, everywhere in fact.
This gives the player a God like quality that no commander ever had.
IMHO it often leads to a type of play in PBEM games that generally becomes like a childrens game of hide and seek.
WWII was never fought like this no matter how many times people will try to justify this issue.

and there are scores of things that take place in the CS game that didn't take place in comat also.

Such as: you can move an undisrupted unit one hex in any direction it goes there 100% of the time no questions asked

You can move a BT-7 tank full speed across country and never have to worry about it throwing a track

You can move any vehicle no matter how heavy down a dirt road in wet conditions and never get bogged down

Do you need more?

The game is an abstract simulation of tactical WW2 combat; nothing more; it is a game.

You quote some games, well try Steel Panthers a long well established game, you can't click anywhere there and see a LOS. That is much more realistic in this respect.

Then go play Steel panthers

ED all I have done here is to put this LOS issue up for discussion, but you can't resist hijacking the thread because you don't like the issues I raise.This is what I take exception to, just as others have in the past in these very threads.

You asked for opinions and he gave one. I am sorry but IMHO you have hijacked your own thread with an anti-Ed rant.

Well it's for reasons like this in the past I have stopped playing this game.

Based on what I see of your posts this may be your best course of action.

It's just not worth attempting to discuss anything here that you don't like,because you will out shout us, or I should say out type us and never give us a chance to discuss anything.

It is clear to me you don't want discussion. What you want is your way.

All I said was I knew your response in advance and I wasn't wrong, you were against change of this sort and I noted that, as everyone else reading the thread would do so.

If you knew this why even mention it.

But you couldn't stop there could you, you have to continue to bore everyone by repeating it again, so people get fed up of reading these threads and in the end there is no discussion on this point, just again your forced views upon us.

Just as you are boring everyone with your whining. :hissy:

This thread is now useless as a discussion on this point, thanks

No thank you.

OK I've said more than enough

You get no argument from me.

Thanx!
