Yet IRL, additional Engineer support is normal when a unit is tasked to assault.

Gentlemen. I fully agree with Bing and Charles_22. There is far to often to little time for "intelligent" recon and this often results in gamey (reckless) playing. Well, the thread is getting long so I might have missed this one. Someone (Les the Sarge 9-1?)thought about purchasing knowledge of hexes for a price. What about purchasing turns in a similar manner as purchasing reinforcements? Would that be conceivable?? Of course the scenario designers always have to take into account that playing stiles differ and particular scenarios simply call for a certain stile/approach. This thread truly highlights the responsibility of the designer to consider time as much as a factor of a good scenario as everything elso on the map, terrain, torrent and troops. Regards Sveinn
