Shoot & Scoot

[Gordons HQ]

It would be nice to think that this issue could be resolved by ROE, but I could see some problems there. One would only have to move a unit out of the LOS after firing for some reason and you have a problem.

If some of the op fire solutions mentioned earlier in the game were able to be implemented and perhaps made optional I can see no great impact being forced upon the game.

These are doable in HPS PzC and Steel Panthers, a game I believe which is older than this one.

It wouldn’t stop one shooting and scooting, it would just mean there would be an added risk involved.
I really can’t see how this would be bad for the game, it would be more realistic and at the same time give a bit more added excitement to shoot & scoot, which at present can be very predictable.

I really don’t believe anyone can defend the present situation in some PBEM games and pretend that is what happened on the battlefield.
We are very lucky these days there is a wealth of evidence available for anyone to see and to disprove the excessive use of this tactic.

We even have The Military Channel documentaries now, thousands of books and films on the subject. I’ve seen most of them as I am sure many members have.
What I’ve never seen is over a hundred tanks and other vehicles like halftracks with some kind of weapon, coming into the line of sight in 6 minutes, shooting and then disappearing.

Prove me wrong, point me in the right direction, where can I see this, it will truly be a wonderful, sight.

Seriously my only agenda here is I would like to see if it is possible this made the best game of all time.
I believe it's good now but it could be better, slow progress surely there is nothing wrong with that.:)

Cheers
