When playing H2H, I have no message box when firing or being fired at.

I only see the lower frame of the box to the top of my screen.

I'm n ot sure if that is intended. If not, could someone tell me how to fix this?

It's intended. After all, no one is going to yell across no-man's land, "He Jerry, that was a nice shot. You just took out Joe! Let me know how you like this one... bang bang bang!"

You don't get any casualty reports in H2H.

I think I need to really start using H2H. That is one feature that I don't really like in stock 7.1.

I did receive casualty reports from arty fire tho. Not infantry, but AVF hits.

Toontje: I believe that if you have LOS to target you'll get reports, but not if you don't have LOS. It goes on the assumption that you'd see the AFV brew up but not necessarily the infantry.
In H2H its designed that way so that you can not use artillery for recon work. HTH

I didn't spot one of them before and that one is behind a hill (suspected fire), and another one might be spotted altrough it's behind smoke.

Not that AVF hit occur often using arty, so usually it ought to be no problem. Just noticed it because it was 2 in 1 turn.

Come to think of it, those 2 are hits from <25 arty-AVF hits from indirect fire.

This is one of the key reasons that I prefer H2H. No arty reconn.

But you still get [I]some[/I] reconn. If there are a large number of casualties being caused by the indirect round, the information bar at the bottom of the screen will 'roll up' several more steps than normal (one step for each casualty reported). On my slower machine, there'll also be a delay as the program reports enemy casualties.

The 'ka-ping' sound caused by hits on hidden enemy armor still happens, too, as do full reports of hidden armor kills.

You may not know exactly [I]what[/I] is getting damaged (as in 7.1) but you still can get some information. :cool:
