c_Question Mark  Air interdiction!
Now how to deal with that ??

you can't imagine how much is hard to move units in daylight in some Modern campaigns. Heavy losses each move: 14-28 Men in a Mech Bn... sometimes over 100 Men in an Engineer Mot. Bn, 4-8 heavy Tanks, sometimes around 10 light Tanks, many full Bn of Mot Artillery is destructed..... etc. and that is "almost" every moveCry!! A few turns and your Army loose the initiative before it starts Combat!!

and while moving at night saves troops from this effect, almost all players choose the night fatigue rule so what to do !

for example, i am playing jihad '04 (by VM, a Mideast '67 Exp. pack) and loosing men and vehicles while moving. everywhere... Lebanon, Syria, Sinai, Egypt. Maybe this is for balancing the campaign and simulating the strength of the Israeli Airforce( i have experienced the Israeli Airforce capabilities for a long years since 1993, through 1996, and all the years between 2000 - 2006 in my Country. I know very well what it can do....).
i am in turn 21, and a few turns i will achieve a draw, and the campaign is open for a victory regarding my position in it, but i am talking about my satisfaction while playing. Really in my point of view the annoying Air interdiction every time, everywhere, makes the game less fun.

i am playing for fun. Yeah it is a high level simulation, and the best Op. tactical series available, but i can say -and i am not newbie to Panzer neither Modern campaigns (playing since 2000)- it wasn't this way in the past.... i am not finding any fun even playing my first and best MC title, Fulda gap '85. i stopped playing that since the last update, and start focusing on WWII titles.

is there better ways for designers to balance the scenarios?

but anyway, my question for now is about any tactics -while playing- to avoid this devastating effect.

what i said above is only my personal point of view. Sorry for this long thread. i am not asking more then little hints (if available). i am not asking for modifications since didn't hear any complaint from players around the world.
