Just grabbed TLD and am re-living some of the old Close Combat 5 playing I used to do. Lots of updates here of course. Had some basic questions that I was having trouble finding answers to when searching.
While playing, I feel like I've noticed that it's much harder to detect enemy units? Anyone else getting that impression? And any tips to try and sus out the enemy given that? They'll find my guys in cover (I use the feature to outline the soldiers with their cover: red, yellow, green.), as expected I can usually see where the fire is coming from but minutes go by and they'll never be revealed. Best I can do is try to fire back at the area. Also seems like it's damn near impossible to pin or suppress the enemy now as well unless you have armor pieces.
Next is a carryover question. I know that if you hold down spacebar, there's an area of influence for each unit. I never fully understood if you needed to have units inside the area of influence circle to receive the command unit's benefits, or if unit circles just had to intersect. The manual has always just eluded to the feature but all the reference images only show intersecting. I've never found a resource that really describes how best to take advantage of the command circles.
Sorry if stuff like this has already been covered ad nauseum and I'm just not searching correctly.
In August of 2004, Zappi, Homba, Bambam887, RedScorpion and MOOXE all pitched
in to create this Close Combat site. I would to thank all the people who have visited
and found this site to thier liking. I hope you had time to check out some
of the great Close Combat mods and our forums. I'd also like to thank
all the members of our volunteer staff that have helped over
the years, and all our users that contributed to this site!
