a simple question and a comment

Hi,

According to the manual armour units can make Direct Fire attacks. How do you do this? It is not explained in the manual or have I missed it?

The only feature I find somewhat disappointing in the came is that you know all about the combat odds before rolling the dice. Actually you can set up the attack to get the results you want. This used to happen in boardgames where fog of war is difficult to reproduce, but in a computer game this should not be the case. I can understand that some players like to have total control and optimise their attacks. But there could be a mode where you have less information, perhaps simply the number of steps of the defender. How is it in the next games such as Disaster on the Donetz and the expansion?

Any clues?

A picture (or two) is worth a 1,000 words... taking aim...
