This game kicks my butt

[eltorrente]

Perhaps someone can explain to me the following: Movement: move causes no fatigue, of course, HUNT causes fatigue, why is this? Hunt is just cautious slow movement, it should not cause fatigue, only use up valuable time. Anyone know why CM2 causes huge fatigue for HUNT command?

The way I think of it, it's like the troops are walking around tensed up and ready for contact at any second. They're probably crouching slightly and keeping low, etc. Going by experiences playing paintball, it was tiring crouch-walking. That's how I see it, anyway - they're hyper-ready and see and react better, so I don't mind the trade-off.

Btw - his second video I don't fully agree with, he basically did 'recon by death' with his first company, he could have split his squads up and reconnoitered the approach much better (of course, this is hindsight and my first CM2 games have been recce by death too).

Yeah, I like to keep my scout teams alive, and split squads and try to be careful. I usually always designate the 1st squad of my platoon to be the forward squad. For this reason, I often make them one level better quality, and give them at least +1 leadership - so they can operate away from the commander if necessary. I like to keep them spread out for the inevitable moratar strike(s), too.
