Canadian Cat - it was my forum posts that GAZNZ is talking about.

Gained some understanding on Action Squares - but the LOS/Spotting stuff IMO needs a lot of work.

Related to this - my biggest 'issue' with RT - is 'memory'.

What I mean by that, is on Iron settings (or whatever the highest is, sorry, in the office right now) - my guys 'forget' to quickly.

An example - referenced in the battlefront post - is how my HQ unit has orders to run out of a building into a kubelwagon, now as they run out, they roll that 1 on the d20, lose sight of the kubelwagon for a second, so re-path all their orders around the building over a fence, then the re-roll for spotting happens again, and this time they can spot their kubelwagon, and run back to hop in - but i had orders for the kubelwagon to drive off after 30 seconds so it bugs out before they jump in..
So, could be buggy LOS, 10 meters open ground, cant see the kubelwagon, or Memory: "Dude, wheres my car?"

As a consequence to Hans the driver rolling that 1, or related, or whatever, was as this HQ is running around, they lose radio comms to an unbuttoned Panther (with sniper team on the back) a few hundred meters away - now the Panther is hull down on a road covering a T34 that I suspect is about to cross LOS about 500m's away, and the Panther has a friendly reinforced platoon in the woods to its right - as soon as the Panther loses radio comms to HQ, all the markers of the friendly platoon turn to sound contacts, and the Panther starts swiveling its turret to the woods, obviously freaking out about who's in there and taking precautions - they have 'forgotten' they are friendlies.

Buttoned T34 rolls onto the road, spots the Panther pissing about with its turret and one shots it.



I see this happening all the time, squad jumps off a AFV, runs forward 20 meters over open ground and take cover behind a fence or whatever - then the 'roll' for spotting happens, must roll a 1 - fail to spot their AFV behind them (keep in mind the fence is in front of them, the AFV is behind them on open ground), start freaking out about this 'tank sound contact' behind them, 20 seconds later or something roll again, roll that 20! Ah, its our own Stug, pwew..
