The Competition & Teaser Thread

Well, for me under company level is tactical and abstraction needs be reduced, this is why i never like a lot Tiller Campaigns because uses infantry units with a simple numeric value. Smoke maybe is not a critical feature (in part because like you say not in all periods smoke was avaliable for tanks) because are other things that at platoon level has their point but keep in mind that a less abstract use of smoke could be needed... at least the idea of a defensive bonus like i say, think for example in desert battles or steppes, you have sand storms and similars, maybe they not strong enough to block LOS but can affect to the direct fire effectivity.

Ummm good question about LOS, i understand that when a hex is overstacked it becomes a blocking LOS hex for both sides, enemy cant shoot behind it with direct fire but same for friendly units, maybe the only question is if tanks can shoot indirect over infantry units spoted by a company element... i know that tanks are usually for direct fire but many times are examples of indirect fire specially over infantry or a static objetive.

EDIT: they say this

"This has been fixed by having LOS only blocked by units that are 50% or more than the stacking limit. Lower than that limit and you can see and fire at those larger units trying to move forward - through the screening unit."

But here i have a question with armor units... an infantry company can block the LOS of a tank unit??? i can understand that armored units (tanks or mech/mot infantry) when are over 50% stack limit block a tank unit LOS but when we talk only about infantry (on foot with no vehicles) is not a little strange see them blocking the LOS of tanks that are sometimes double in size than a man??? Stugs and other low profile vehicles sure are blocked but not a lets see Tiger commander that is in a good spotting plataform.
