Line of sight for enemy units?

Post by GottaLove88s »

Gents,

It's easy to get BA to show line of sight for each of my units (tool tip top right of screen).
Is there a way to show line of sight for a selected enemy unit?

Thanks!
:-)

There isn't a way to display it (using the current game). This seems like a little too much "magical information" I think

Cheers

There has been many a time that I would like to have access to this "magical information". In many other games with LOS you can simply click on a hex to see what it can see and to decide if you want to move to be seen yourself. IMO if the question was requesting the hit percentages for enemy units firing on yours I would fully agree that would be asking for too much.
I believe the ability to see a LOS from any square on the board would be a marked improvement.

Magical Information,....Nice! I like that term. :)

Thanks Pip,

I note your bracketed phrasing "using the current game".

I was wondering (hoping :-)) ... something for BA2...?

After all, as hcsim points out, this "magical info" isn't too different to what advanced players can get from the advanced tool tips or browsing squads.csv

It would be darned handy...

For some reason when I toggle the line of sight view I can't really see the highlighted spaces clearly. I have experimented turning the brightness higher and lower on my IPad but nothing seems to help. Is there an easy way to make this more visible or a contrast setting I have missed?
