Thanks for the info.

With this info looks like desert is going to offer some cover for infantry (or at least enought to create defensive zones for poor infantry supported by AT) and at same time give room to move armor.

I am curious about changes in the AT model at range combat and the impact combined with infantry in good defensive positions.

Talking about defensive... do you explore the idea to remove the feature that made when an unit leave a defensive position this lose 50% of defensive value??? at least for trenches and heavier defensive positions, sometimes is a little .... play moving non first line combat units to mantein the max number of defensive positions operative when you move combat units to the combat (HQ, AA units...) and well, lets see if we can see some "sand screens" to help defensive and offensive when units move or shot.

The cover for infantry and AT guns is working exactly as you mention. You can set up a screen of infantry and guns and be undetected until they open fire.

In one test game we saw a British Tank Regiment decimated in a turn or two due to these hidden defenses in depth.

As far as the AT model, it seems to work better than I expected. I may even consider tweaking for the first two games but will be careful here as it impacts every fire value. Maybe one to try out in the Demo once it's available.

As far as the 'vacant' rule - again something that can be considered. Possibly something we can tie to the owning player.
