Elevating infantry units

I had forgotten about being able to do that.

Must re-read the manual again.

Just check how realistic is the LOS from that chapel.
It is as good as the real thing!

cheers,

Yes, I read that just the other day but did not think of this application. However this is only usable in designer scenarios. Ideally you would have not only have multi hex buildings but multi storey buildings as well. You would be able to have infantry units in the same hex but on different storeys. Ah, back to the days of Squad Leader, but without the chart and dice. [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon46.gif[/img]

...or the piece of thread to check LOS

What was that method again?

Thanks, Pyros. That does give the added LOS range but it also removes the 'ground floor' from the building. A unit close-assaulting another unit in the street would be exposed to suppressing fire from all around the countryside.

So the question remains, is it possible to implement a helicopter-like elevation mechanism for infantry?

Hi,

RubberNeck just look at this tactical suggestion (picture below). I think that this way you may be partially happy.
