Spotting - Same Hex

Post by John S »

I played this game a fair amount late in 2014 and then dropped it for others. About two weeks ago I decided to take it up again and started playing again.

Quick question re spotting. I was playing the Tutorial Scenario (which, by the way, could use some updating because a number of subsequent enhancements
greatly affect the play of the tutorial). At the end I found that a number of Soviet units were located in the same hex and 8in hexes adjacent to my fairly substantial units. I could not see them, except I would get a quick vision when I made air strikes after encountering fire from the adjacent hexes.

My questions are obvious. First, what leads to this situation - I presume the "accumulated visual hinderance" (Manual page 88).

Second - how do you tell when you are seeing not things that are in your hex or adjacent? (Fire indicators help some)

Third - what do you do about it? Does a unit need to assault into its own hex? How do you get to these units?

Any help, much appreciated.

There's been a prevalent LoS bug plaguing this version of the game. It should be fixed by the official release of 2.0.11.

John, as Stimpak points out there was a sighting bug that cropped up in 2.0.10 and we have that resolved in the 2.0.11 beta that is out there. The 11.1 beta has a number of the 10 release bugs dealt with and we are working on a few other items this weekend to try to get a 11.2 out early next week.
OTS is looking forward to Southern Storm getting released!

Thanks guys. Appreciate the extra effort. Your efforts and support make a positive difference (also feels good - I thought it was just me missing something!!)
