Top ten things I have learned.

[Herr Straße Laufer]

I declare (as my great-aunt would say), you do go on about what a person should or shouldn't do in what is after all a flipping wargame... and I just really don't care. I'll choose to think of it as the kind of forested slope that I have driven on, and you can make jokes about driving up mountains, and never the twain shall meet.

You, sir, brought it up? This whole thread morphed into what units could and could not do?
Driving a truck ... a truck ... (just to be clear here) up the side of a mountain is simply not possible in "real life". But, it can be done in the game?
If you did not care, why did you respond?

What is the point in arguing what constitutes a mountain, and whether a halftrack (or an M4!) could climb it "for real"? There's no way to settle such disagreements, so my approach is this: If the game system and the game map allows it, that's the only arbiter I'll accept about what can move where.

Is this misdirection?
I said, "a two and a half ton truck" could not climb a mountain. You bring in Halftracks and tanks?
I could care less for the argument "if the game allowed something" that could be done, but not in "real life", "all things go".
Heck, the developers put in a lot of rules (and units) that are supposed to make the game more "realistic". :fireman:

If it were "for real" I'd sneak a couple of soldiers with a pair of binoculars and a radio up that hill, and you'd never see them.... but since CS doesn't give me that realistic option, I'll do it with a great lumbering halftrack that you can spot and chase and shoot... doesn't seem to be much to complain about there, come to think on it.

Once again misdirection (and little condescension)?
Who's complaining?
You do have access to patrol scouts? At least scenario designers do. And, they can remain hidden?
Why send a truck/transport up a mountain (or series of slopes leading to a high point - cause I don't know what kind of strawman you want to erect) to a place where it can "see" question marks?
And, in case you bring it up again, a combat halftrack or tank can "see" more than just "?'s". Let's stick to trucks here?
