Patch?

Actually, I don't see how anything you typed was contrary or in disagreement with what I wrote. All I was saying is that historical losses shouldn't be taken into too much account the lower scale/level that you go, because the player(commander) determines the intensity of the battle at the tactical level, rather than stretching the results to equate to the historical losses by the end of the scenario. Translation: in just a few turns, "very bloodly results" (high losses) at the tactical level shouldn't necessarily equate to "a-historical losses at the higher scale". Nothing about opportunity fire per-se.

That said, yes, opportunity fire is tricky at the tactical level because units can move so quickly (very long distances) in one turn. The answer there might be to double or triple the effectiveness of opportunity fire or just have a higher abundance of opportunity fire in general. Alternatively, opportunity fire could sap a small amount of Movement Points from the moving unit(s), to represent them reacting to it, getting detracted by it (buttoning up, calling it out, taking cover from it, etc.) thus slowing down their overall movement the more they are shot at, or you introduce Pinned effects. There are several ways to skin that cat, so to speak, but this is something I wasn't necessarily referring to in the previous post. ;)
