Maybe I've been playing Tiller's Campaign Series too long. In CoH, my rifle squad is wiped out from 8x away by an HMG and yet two tanks seem to have to share a hex to get kills. I am also finding it difficult to see what my units can see - probably am just missing a keystroke like in JTCS. It will all be good as long as devs don't get as obsessive as Hexwar seemed to be in following the TT for FoG rules, whether they worked well in the computer game or not.
Hi rousseau, you don't need to have tanks share a hex to get a kill, in fact it's a detriment because anything firing into the hex with 2 tanks gets to roll dice for each tank in the hex. So If my anti-tank gun fires at your 2 tanks in the same hex, I get to attack each tank for the cost of 1 attack.
Grouping does not mean units share the same hex, you need to manually group the units together from units that are adjacent and touching each other. Those units together make a manuver group. To group select each unit with the mouse and hit cntrl. The group should be outlined in red and the fire team leader in yellow. I am doing this off the top of my head, so double check the manual, there is a picture in the manual as well showing a group!
Hope this helps!
