Game play question.

[Herr Straße Laufer]

So which is best when you can only use 1 smoke round so its most effective

If I only had one smoke round I would most likely fire it into the enemy hex.
There is a funny "quirk" in the game, that I have often run into. That is opportunity fire from ambush is most devastating.
If you smoke the hex in front of the enemy and move into it, the enemy would have lost LOS on your unit and then it would trigger opt fire from ambush?
When you drop it on the enemy their fire is halved as you move forward. It would take a very lucky shot to disrupt or do damage to your unit.

If I had two rounds I would fire the first into the enemy hex and then one into the hex I move into. The opt fire would be quartered and I would receive protection from other enemy fire, if they had a LOS to the hex.

As always; smoke 'em if you got 'em?
