"collatereal" objective hexes

[TheBigRedOne]

I always understood a collateral objective to be basically a hex that represents innocents on the battlefield. Taking that objective, I believe, gains you nothing, so if you can avoid them, do so. Certainly don't fire into one. Assault if you have to, but even then, unless it's crucial to the gaining the upper hand, I'd just by-pass them if at all possible.

It gives a very nice representation of some of the limitations placed on US forces in theatre.
