Man alive, I have just been playing Omaha Beach on the WWII campaign...boy have I got super movable LCM's. I tried to lay a little suppression down prior to moving. I fired first, then moved to the end of my alowable movement radius. I then fired again - well - it gave me a whole new movement allowance! Ripper, that gave me the chance to land a few of my Flails and the like prior to getting wiped out. I somehow don't think this should be happening? Unless I have got a new secret propeller or perhaps hyper drive... Nik

I think this one was in SP:WW2 as well. I seem to recall seeing the same thing happen in the Canadians at Dieppe scenario. The attacking force had got pretty cut-up by the German pillboxes, and I wanted to get them back up off the beach fast. I found how to do it very fast indeed. Load up the remnants of the troops, move the landing craft, open fire, move it again, repeat steps. I was able to sail them right into the mouth of the channel and down behind the German positions... I am not sure if this was limited to Canadian landing craft. I do recall that it may have worked with other nations as well. It was one of those annoying bugs that it was hard not to take advantage of. I think that it even worked if you used the 'z' key to area fire an empty beach. So here is another inherited flaw in the SP machine.

It is hard not to take advantage of this wee flaw. Especially when your troops are sitting ducks and disappear with one shot. Maybe in the next patch? Nik
