Thanks for the clarification, Goblin. So, I was right to begin with. I love it when on those rare occasions I'm proven to be correct. [:D]

Dont get me wrong,  i like infantry being hard to spot , but there is a balance.  I prefer infantry to be easy to spot inthe open terrain.  Ive played games where the infantry can walk right up ,  unspotted ,  in the open terrain ,  1 hex at a time and not be seen.  This should not be the norm ,  IMO.  I have no problem with this in the woods/city/mixed and such.  But the main problem with the game is the open terrain can get dicey.  So i turn it up so that open terrain has pretty good spotting.  We still buy a ton of infantry because they are the best value but at least they dont own the map everytime. Also i like to turn up the hitting as to kill "junk units" ie  jeeps, cycles,horses,trucks.  Just turn that baby up and all the garbage units that get spotted die. Simple,  no running wild on the map sucking up op fire.  just my 2 cents

[font=tahoma]ahh....a question about Opportunity Fire.....is it even possible to have the preferences set so that once a unit is out of "rounds" that Op Fire isn't possible or at a reduced capability? I am assuming that the Spec Op Fire Freq setting addresses this IE; a lower % means less frequent out of rounds Op Fire, but I could be very, very wrong......I currently have the Spec Op Fire Freq set at the lowest possible number (30%) and still the enemy receives spec op fire almost every time........[/font]

You can't completely turn off Op.Fire... The special op.fire setting addresses only "special" op.fire (which is explained in the manual).  Personally I think we need more op.fire, not less, this helps to partiallly offset the "turn-based" nature of the game so the other side doesn't just sit there helpless while you destroy them.  Honestly I've never turned down that setting and am surprised to hear what you say happens as 30%.

Never tried this so I'll ask .........does shutting OFF all weapons (in the unit screen) stop all OPFIRE ?????

Yes indeed it does.

Thank you JEB.....Planner 3 (you know me as chief)

i also like more opp fire,  crank that baby up.  This is where true ambushes get rewarded[:D]  nothing like  from a perfectly set up ambush.

But Bart would have a cow if a unit kept op firing...
