firing at hex with multiple targets

[PawelM]

Jason,

What you ay implies that a single platoon cannot assume a formation 2 platoons could. Certainly if number of tanks is identical, what stop a single platoon from doing exactly what 2 platoons could.


for instance if the two platoons are reduced to 1sp ( 1 tank each), what advantage can they gain vs a single platoon with 2SP? Surely it is pssible to mimic the same formation as in the former case.

I think what you say is valid under assumption all units in the platoon are tightly coupled and are not a single subunit of a platoon represented by 1SP in the game cannot be positioned as far or in a free manner with regard to the main portion of a platoon as a completely different platoon could be.
For instance, hex is 250m so 2 tanks could be 250m apart within the hex only if they belong to different platoon?so they cannot make it more difiicult to the enemy to target them as otherwise 2 platoons coul?

would't you agree ?
