Or you the Player-god now know there are tanks on your flank, and so you pivot your flank company to face the oncoming troops (who really should continue on clueless and get surprised). There is no way to legislate for this in a 2 player "total command" type game where you have total access to your pieces.

Thanks for your answer, it really was the way I suspected. Another quick question, could it be possible (and sensible) that SAMs can't fire a helo that's landed and didn't move last turn? In my case it didn't make sense that any SAM would consider it an aerial target and having this logic that it must be airborne to be shot with missiles would ease this problem a bit.

Since you're probably about to ask dmnt ...
What radios do it the game is basically two things:
1) Allow a unit to call in mortars/artillery/air support
2) Allow a unit to be "in command" when located far from it's formation HQ

Thanks, I've played the game enough to understand the effect of "radio" for the troops (I've even deciphered the X1-X3 radio codes!), I wasn't just certain what are the firing or visibility rules for SAMs. I knew that LOS does not affect the systems with radars.
