I'm playing Commander, self-ironman. Its September 1, Total Legions equal 62, global resistance threat level is low, and I have yet to liberate a region. I have full coils and predator, decent roster (no MSG but a couple GSG's and many TSG's), and contact with 5 regions, 1 ready to liberate (w/ str ...

But again, to me, the bigger issue is the removal of the long-range penalty when shooting out of squad-sight range. I've seen that being as high -20, and regularly -10. THAT seems to me the bigger concern.

I wanted to know other's opinions on this topic. I play with DFA snipers, acknowledging you can't always get high ground, so often the "main" benefit is unusable, but my position is the "long range aim penalty" that is reduces/removes. To me, that is always in affect, so it is mo...

I was wondering about cover destruction and what affects environmental damage. I know Sapper says it helps, then there's combat engineer and bunker busters.

I have a region that went from 5 to 8 pretty quickly after finishing the liberation 3 mission in that region (my 2nd). I've already liberated my home region, and the third I contacted started with strengt...

Thoughts?

Thanks for the reply. After posting this and then returning home last night, I actually discovered my information below was slightly incorrect. I found that my Formidable Defense mission was still available (it had not changed, as I first posted), but that there was now a NEW mission to thwart Tac D...

I had a strange experience. I got very lucky (I think, unless changes to detection chance have occurred), and had two open gops to thwart upcoming DE's pop up at the same time in two different regions. One was Tac Defense, the other was Fromidable Defense. Given state of game and troops, I figured I...
