I read Glenn Saunders' "WF Recon" doc.

quote:

I was testing a scenario with a human opponent in PBEM recently. The procedure in a test is to play it once, report our findings and then reverse sides and play again. In the first match, my opponent was the attacker. I hadn�t played him before and was unaware of his style. After the first couple of turns, I became concerned that I could not see where his main effort was coming from. I could hear him, but had no idea where he was in force and what he was up to.

I play with sound off.

How much info do you get from sounds in these games?

In Combat Mission, it is a disadvantage to play with sound off.

How about HPS Squad Battles series? (For those familiar with those games)

With sound you an hear vehicles moving such as tanks, squeeky bikes. etc. Hearing a number of instances you may surmise he has a spread out force or a certain number of vehicles. I always play with sound on.

ditto ... added to which when you're under an artillery barrage you get an idea of the type of artillery being used against you. That helps judge range, destructive capability and potential targets if fireing by map ref and you caught a glimpse of the incoming.
