I feel that the sniper should have the same aim/fire ability as a tank/gun. That is to say that the sniper should first aim and then (having seen the % to hit) fire or hold off. This means that they will have the chance to take longer over their shot and accumulate higher % chance to hit. This will also make them useful at spotting targets in likely locations. I currently feel the sniper is a somewhat suicidal unit insofar as, in my experience, as soon as they open fire the whole world dumps on them (usua...

I have given up any hope that my last British battlegroup would ever earn any upgrades, so I have abandoned it and started a new German one instead. I have tried to follow CellNav's advice, and played the first two battles right through without exiting the game. Although I did start the first battle and have to exit after about 5 turns. After that I finished the first battle and then the second without exiting at all. I won both the first two battles with a Gold star, and eagerly started the third battle...

This game seems great but there seems to be some really odd spotting mechanics at play. I have an infantry squad in a building yet they cannot seem to see the enemy stood outside the door, or the half-track parked in the garden. Am i not putting the troops in the 1st floor? have i accidentally placed them all in a locked basement? And i appear to have an armoured corp staffed entirely by the worst shots this side of Blind Bob. Is there anyway to to recon by fire? Any tips or suggestions? cheers...

Medal criteria I am currently going back through the 'Story' scenarios and replaying those where I did not finish with a 'gold' medal. Does anyone know the criteria for each of the medals? I have almost all golds for each scenario but I am having difficulty with the Allies in 'We shall see about that!' I have just finished again... AI morale 0 - Turn 20 (out of 30} with not a single Allied casualty for another silver medal! So I achieved the mission (well inside the time allocated) without a single loss. ...

I have always not been able to get to grips with the 'In Ambush' concept. To me it seems that any AI unit emerging from 'hidden' seems to have an 'in ambush' penalty against me. I ran a skirmish to hopefully illustrate my frustration. For expedience I chose 'Crossroads' simply because it is quick. Almost as soon as I started to play I was confronted with the 'in ambush' penalty. I had a Panther stationary behind a hedge facing likely approaches/choke points. Almost immediately a Stuart recce came hurtlin...
