jomni: Yeah, I know how it works. And I'm not talking about the hiding mechanics in general, I am only talking about the somewhat special case of hidden units denying access to tiles. I agree that units hiding on hills is a cool thing.

Right, we're on the same page then :)

And yeah, something like that. I think it'd be fine if the hidden unit got some kind of opfire when that happened. Like, moving "into" a hidden unit is moving into an ambush or some such. Either way I think it should result in the hidden unit being revealed ...

It is like that purposely so that only infantry can spot units, for example if you have a AT gun in a sandbag and it is set to hold fire, the tank can get right next to it and not see it, than when its your turn you will have a clear shot. But if you fire there is a chance that you will be "spotted ...

No, no transports. And no building either for that matter.

I know how to deal with it. That's not the issue. It just doesn't make a lot of sense to me ...

So I was playing this game.

The enemy had some mortar team on top of a hill. The mortar team occupied the only tile that was considered hill and not covered with forest, and I had no infantry nearby. I could not spot the mortar team from any "available" tiles (I only saw it while it was firing ...

I'm playing.

This game sure is cutting into my internet forum posting time :)

Can't seem to stop starting the game up to see if there is a new turn waiting.

Hah, yeah. I have been meaning to post something somewhere, about the game being awesome and that, for some time now. It's just that I end ...

Well sure. But then I find that I cannot get particularly immersed in anything if I always have to worry about breaking whichever house rules my enemy might have made up. Opinions differ and that.

My first game of chess included tactics such as pawn sacrifice. I was cool with that.
