The Competition & Teaser Thread

[Strela]

Ooo thanks for the pics Strela, a little question... the ? represent an enemy unit or a defensive work??? and if we talk about an enemy unit... what you need to spot it with out recon spotting???.

Cant wait, these 2 weeks are going to be tooooooo long hehehe.

The ? mark(s) represents suspected enemy position. It could be anything - unit, bunker etc. These usually represent where the fighting stopped the previous day or overnight recon has deduced something might be there.

It is essentially the 'intelligence' of where enemy troops are suspected to be. Currently the bulk of scenarios only have these in for the defender as the attacker is usually mobile (attacking!) from the start of the scenario. The ? mark defence line gives the attacking player enough clues to allow him to use recon aircraft and recon spotting as well as preparatory artillery strikes. Importantly it is a good indicator of where not to drive up to in travel mode.

These have mainly been used near the front line, but in some cases where history reports some of the rear area forces, ? marks have been put there also. If you move into the hex with one, it will either be empty (and the ? mark disappears) or occupied and the hex needs to be assaulted. Once cleared the ? mark disappears.


Here is an example in a scenario;
