wow lost 19 men in 1 battle

[thyge]

lost a hole squad + lnt. to a bad ewent + about 7 to snipers + a few to battle fights. that was roughf. and it was going so well had 4 maj.vic. in a row, and then this, seems to be a mis. designed to get ur men killed

[Team Triss]

Yeah, that's a rough one.

I am sorry for the loss of your men. May they rest in peace.
War is hell.

I don't think any scenarios are designed to get your men killed. It might seem so. Hey, I have cursed at them too. (euh, the enemy I mean)
But after some time (either during the scenario or during a later second campaign), I figured out is was because of my misunderstanding. Sometimes my used tactics were simply not performed well or even totally not adapted to the particular scenario. I made cruel mistakes. And usually they resulted in the death of my men. That's definately a burden. But this is 'just' a game...
Imagine what those real WW2 officers would have felt back in those days.

it just that most of the kills had nothing to do with, ur skills as a comander, but more to do with scripted ewents.

If you avoid moving through the town as much as possible you get few losses, i moved through treeline north, after i got the first 2 sniper shots.

how. u cant see where the shot comes from, u dont know if there is more than 1 sniper

[AHTF´184]

ah i understand, well to be honest i just choose to go outside the town, as soon as i noticed it seemed to happen as soon as i moved in town. Even do i had the feeling that creep made the chance less for sniper or removed it.

But like i said in other post, i just think you have to go into this game and accepting such mechanics, exactly as with mines. They want to simulate the war, it didnt mather how good commander you were, sometimes you would have to run through undetected minesfields etc. I also had to get used to that everything aint up to just me anymore. :)

the reason I lost so many (about 7) to the sniper, was because I thought my men was supposed to find the sniper and kill him. if I had known I could,nt do that I could have awoided some of the sniper kills. in my opinion the sniper should be a fysical unit u could find and kill, more fun

Got the same feeling while playing today and honestly it was disappointing

Thank you for the feedback guys. It is because of this input that gameplay keeps improving.
I think it was agreed on that the sniper(s) could potentially make too many casualties and the event to trigger wasn't always clear. Devs have been working on this as a response.

They should not be quite so often
