LOS frustation & other bugs playing germans - Storm in the East Tournament - Round 1

[A Canadian Cat]

I would like to help out with the LOS issues and spotting problems you have but I don't know where to start with that one. So often our impression of what happened is off the mark. Many times I thought something was crap when I got down and looked at the situation myself with the trees fully on it all seemed reasonable. The kicker is none of our pixel troops spot perfectly by any means and that is by design. By that I mean even if there is clear LOS to an are it does not mean you get to see anything there instantly. That is by design. Then you add in the design limitations of the game you can sometimes get things that are probably wrong but even then most of the time it could be considered just bad luck. Of course if you keep getting bad luck over and over because of limitations it is cold comfort.

The way to come out ahead in tricky situations is to try to maximize your chances of having the luck factor swing your direction. Things like having good information sharing between your units so your tank crews have an idea of where the enemy tanks are, making sure your infantry force the enemy tanks to button up before you try to engage. Find ways to have a many to one happen locally in your favour. If you can add up those things correctly then you can start to have more "he who spots first shoots first" and "he who shoots first kills first" moments go your way.

All of which is tricky to discuss in the abstract and much easier to discuss in a particular incidence.
