Walls

[jcrohio]

Noticed the following - a unit fired at an adjacent unit separated by a wall - no bonus was given to the defender for being behind a wall.

Is this correct or a bug?

Is correct.i don't know if you have played ASL,but also in this game was the same.

This should be correct,

There is no way for this game to have a very convoluted system like ASL for grabbing control of a common wall. I think in ASL it is called "Wall Advantage" and it goes to whoever gets there first and claims wall advantage. If you call wall advantage you can't get the hex bonuses for the building in that hex..cause you are out of the building on the wall.

In this game, if the firer is adjacent to the wall the firer receives no penalty..as it should for the firer is pointing its guns right on top of the wall. The program has no way to decide who has wall advantange...so neither gets the wall bonus.

It is as if both units were on the wall with guns over top of wall firing at each other..in real life that doesn't work cause they will fire right past each other, unless the wall is 8' thick.

But it is a very nice simplification of a complex battlefield situation. Regular squad leader didn't screw with such a complicated concept as "wall advantage"

I'm glad I don't play that lawyer mediated squad fight game (ASL) anymore...sorry ASL fans..the games rules are out of control...playability has suffered greatly..my head hurts just thinking about all those freakin rules.

I like that.
