<t> 1. Sneak in decent cover when the enemy is 150+ m. away orin bldgd at close range. Move fast when youre fairly certain youre team isnt in enemy LOS or is but at long distance.<br/>

2. As often as necessary. Enemy fire thru smoke is treated as area fire rather than targeted fire.<br ...

Shouldnt one of them be standing guard while the rest cop a nap?

OK, well that needs fixing as my default deployment sometimes makes no sense, with guns in illogical locations, etc. I don't want a huge advantage, but I do want a fight that has some realism.<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>
Deployment has been improved in ...

<r> Finding, fixing, bombarding is manuever and fire. You say potato, I say... An armored infantry btn CO recalled his unit's primary task as being the security escort for FOs. "Too Mny Men" and other sources peg casualties from indirect fire at 60-75%. CC wouldnt be much of a game if either side ...

IMO a "fair fight" vs the AI involves never re-deploying your troops since the AI always uses the tactically deficient default deployment.

<t> Often the first spotting round indicates where the target is. That gives your teams(s) ~10 seconds to vamoose or hunker down. The AI will use mortars against tanks in an effort to immobilize them but a moving tank is hard to hit. Deploy your infantry in good cover, expose a moving tank (or fire ...

<r> Unit frontage did take terrain density into account as well as other factors such as the US propensity for cautiousness in the attack, with a preference to rely on supporting arms. Defense in depth is abstracted into a BGs forcepool. Lose badly (FM breaks), give some gound (minus 1-3 VLs) and ...

You might even wonder why you keep hearing cries of "MICK!" when a US soldiers gets hit.

Makes a great ringtone ;}

Youll like that the forcepools include every sub-unit specified by the contemporary TO&Es, right down to the number of snipers, in the PITF battalion and regimental battlegroups. In essence PITF is a "one to one" Mortain mod.

Soldier/vehicle scale is improved by the increase in map scale. Tanks can have 2 paint schemes. Nato style unit icons have replaced the star/cross team info icons on the tactical map and the stylized unit icons on the overview map. Terrain ...

<r> CC battles are small micro-tactical slices of life (and death) but to "reflect concentrations of force" suggests a a turn-based game scale where youre pushing unit icons around the map. The point about splitting squads into teams does reflect doctrine. What else would you base the design on? But ...

<r> The platoons are subdivided into a plt HQ team and 3 squads, each squad consisting of two teams (eg. Rifle team and BAR team). WW2 squads didnt operate as single units (ie. 10 men in a group). US squad doctrine was - "...two riflemen designated as scouts, and known as 'Team Able', would locate ...

<r> You asked how mortars can aim somewhere that no friendly has LOS to. IRL it can be done by pre-registration on target, by adjustment from pre-registered targets, by adjustment from explosion plumes, by adjustment from spotting rounds that are within LOS, or, in extremis, simply by good old ...

Unit movement has changed with the ability to mount/dismount vehicles. The chief advantage to this is delivering non-fatigued units to jump-off positions.

The option to remove the game clock and Force Morale displays (F8) increases FOW considerably.

Maybe mortars should work like in Squad Leader ?

CC is a notorious cheat when rolling dice.
