Suggestion for helping infantry

[jomni]

Hi. Here's a proposal.

Why not give infantry "take cover" command similar to the one in the Squad Battles games.
When taking cover, infantry gets additional protection even in open terrain.
But it penalizes their move (like the "hunt" command for vehicles).

It could certainly work for an infantry-centric scenario. We avoided it to try and keep the UI from becoming too cluttered, but it would make sense for an infantry tactics type of campaign. Nice idea.

I was thinking the same thing, and I might end up trying to mod it in later (look out Pip).

A 'dig-in' ability would be great for infantry. I would also like to see smoke shells for mortars that block LOS and the ability for engineers to lay smoke and cut through barbed wire, as well.

Is there a way, in a script, to increase infantry's toughness?

Just copy up the squads file into your custom campaign, and alter their (I think the attrib is) armour.

Cheers
