FLAGS

[taffy]

just wondering,when a flag shows as being taken does the opposing side see it even if they have no visual contact?

No they don't.....they only see the effect on flags based on what they are aware of.

For example, if you have a platoon of hidden troops around a flag which is thoroughly yours, your opponent might well think the flag is his based on his platoon of infantry advancing across open ground and getting close to the flag. Notwithstanding that next turn you're going to open up and massacre him, at that point all his side can see is an unattended flag with his troops nearby....so shows the flag as being in his possession.

However, you know that you have troops close enough to contest a flag if the flag is showing your colors and there are no known enemy troops (or there are some and they are just icons).
