Unlucky Platoon L

[Imp]

Gila tactical situation didn't warrant smoke & as far as I was aware the other squads were undetected & tank had TI, my bad there but the reason I posted was just the continued run of bad luck. Squads do get wiped out with one or 2 shots from time to time but these guys just seemed to be bullet magnets.

Have had payback already with 2 enemy ATGM launches at 90% going wide of the mark.

John,from your OP it seems like a squad in the platoon stumbled in close to an AFV,then the train wreck of all of them insued.

Have you still have a save game file?

What i'm saying is,after the squad that discovered the armor "it" an all others should be popping smoke,not advancing or assaulting except for the squad caught perhaps as they are dead men walking anyway.

Then you could maybe save the majority of the plt instead of throwing in the rest(and i know didn't)which is a typical panic respose.

No save but as stated

In their turn the remaining members decide to move to safety as the tank will be engaged by my armour if it moves forward at all.

They only had to move a hex or 2 to be out of sight of the tank if it moved forward.
It would then be & was engaged by my armour as in LOS.
If they had stayed it would probably have moved one hex & engaged them.
Tank had TI so popping smoke would have alerted him & I needed a side turret or rear hit for the RPGs to stand a chance of being effective.
