Units on Advance will move at a slower rate, and do have opportunity to fire during each phase.

Thanks

Status: offline 		Apologies, but I'm only an occasional visitor here. Has the matter of the Soviet infantry's suicidal march towards the Panzers been addressed in any of the patches? If not, is there a plan to do this? I love this game except for that one feature.

If you are playing random scenarios, you can try using a different Preset. The default Preset has a fair amount of Infantry.

The next beta patch will include some things that might help, although not directly aimed at that behavior. In the next patch you should be able to set the Russian AI to use "Art of War" rather than "Science of War". With SoW, the russian player has a charge order that the AI likes to use. I've actually not seen this as a problem in most of the battles I've fought though.

Thanks
Rick

Status: offline 		Thanks for the reply, Rick. I can't recall which scenarios I was playing but I generally start with the stock campaigns that come with the game.

Looking forward to the next patch.

I'm referring to large numbers of Soviet infantry walking towards my troops from a distance across open ground... I'll post a screenshot if I see it again after the next patch.
