I will explain this again for what feels like the 10,00th time
The game
IS NOT CODED TO CHEAT
Is that clear enough?
The game takes all the variables of experience, morale, suppression, whether one side or the other or both have moved and a host of other factors and what happens in the game is determined by the games randon number generator.
It's not entirely random. A highly experienced unsuppressed unit that has not moved has GENERALLY a better chance of hitting their target than a low experience unit that has just moved ( for example )
BUT
S**t happens in the game just like RL and sometimes "impossible" things can happen as I recall from a Squad Leader game played ( it seems like ) EONS ago. My opponent moved his leader onto a road to retrieve a MG and I took a long shot that required either a roll of snake eyes or boxcars ( I forget which ).......
but that's what I rolled
He was NOT happy
S**t happens
The randon number generator is what has kept people playing SP for a quarter century.
If you save a game then play out the turn then load the save game and play out the turn again you will not get 100% the same results and SOMETIMES your get lucky with the random number generator against the AI ( and nobody complains about that )...... and sometimes the same thing happens for the AI
