It's just that the tension I feel with this game is unreal and i really don't want to get my men killed by sending them into a position that I know must have enemy troops hiding in it but we have to push on somehow!
Hehe I love this game!

1. Bring more troops closer, particularly recon troops. The more troops and the closer, the more recon points you get on the hex. If your recon points exceed the hide value of the enemy's hex, you will see a ?-marker and can then probe-attack into the hex.

2. Use your officers' recon cards, if any.
