Civillians in Squad Battles

[SG1]

Africa at War is not a mere graphic mod. It has newly created scenarios in it, so that civilians may have been included by the creator.

You will notice that Falklands and Modern War are specific insofar as rules of engagement are concerned:
- in Falklands the British troops are fighting on their soil, which implies avoiding harm to civilians who are fellow citizens; Argentinians want to avoid causing civilian casualties as well because that would completely destroy their public image.
- in Modern War the action plays today, or nearly so, at a time when rules of engagement force troops to fight with one hand tied in their back (at least Western troops) for fear of causing civilian casualties.
The situation is completely different for, say, Eagles Strike; this is WW2, US troops are fighting in France, Belgium, the Netherlands (well, the civilians know there is a war going on, we are liberating them, that does not go without fighting, they have better get out of the way) or in Germany (enemy territory, with enemy civilians); as to the German troops, they are fighting on enemy territory or, when fighting on their own soil, they have the need to stem the invasion of their country to be put above the outright preservation of the civilian population. Bottom line being: no need for specific civilian rules in the game.
