Prisoners

[Mad Baron]

I had a recent VERY close game (where every point was going to count) where I was Soviets, and some unit of mine was captured, hands in the air and all that, and they stayed in place even after I had mopped up the German squad that had ''caught'' them. I tried area fire on my captured unit (couldn't get a direct line of fire) because I considered them as either (A) traitors, or (B) cowards...since they were by then surrounded by friendlies, but remained with hands in the air, ''captured.'' (I didn't want my opponent to get extra points for them.~~haha)

I wasn't able to hit them with small arms fire...but they soon reverted to my (Soviet) control anyway, and as someone else pointed out, without ammo.

Call me blood-thirsty, but I played out what the Russians, or others, would certainly have done with a unit that wouldn't come back over! ;)

With enemy POWs in my control, I always give them immediate marching orders to my rear. (I would ''Run'' them, but only option seems to be ''Move.'')
