RE: Fresh meat wants opponents
Aargh I thought my Russki rifle squad in the trees in the foreground wouldn't be spotted because I'd got them on Hide with a target arc on them, but to my surprise the advancing Germans spotted them and began shooting at them at around 60 metres range (that's German tracer coming in) and they started taking losses and getting rattled without firing back!
Maybe I shouldn't have put the arc on them, but I wanted to make them hold their fire til the enemy got closer where my weapons would have been more effective-

EDIT- after running some spotting tests later in this sensational thread, I found that enemy units will spot your infantry in lightish cover (woods with a light vegetation floor) at around 100 metres range, and in heavy cover (woods with a thick bushy forest floor) at about 50 metres. The above pic seems to be woods with a few decent bushes in there, so 60 metres seems about right.
