Attacking

[McIvan]

Yeah MTC is almost always a bad idea when you're out of cover.

Two situations come to mind where you might use it:

1. Towards the end of a game where you've broken the enemy and are moving forward clearing out rabble.......ie you think that the only resistance you might encounter would be overwhelmed by your troops stopping and firing.

2. Early in a game with flat terrain where your moving troops are dropping and sneaking under long range machinegun fire. Using MTC with a short cover arc (so that nothing actually trips it) can sometimes get your troops moving again because MTC has a better morale state than simple move.

The situation shown in the test is simply bad tactics.....to have a line of troops approaching a potential enemy position in the open in that manner is not good play, which makes the results of the test (prima facie indicating that MTC is good) misleading.
