Question about spotting range
Moved Panther along green line - it has a +1 spotting hero, which makes it total range 3 hex.
Weather is "Clear "(Dry)" - which for me means I have no limited sight whatsoever.
Still - the Panther did not spot the AI's infantry when in original position - just by chance I moved 2 hex forward.
One more hex movement (which spotting range as I assumed it predicted it to be empty...) and I would have hit into a surprise attack...
But I dont understand why I did not spot the infantry...

Re: Question about spotting range
This shows initial setup, no moves made. Infantry not visible and weather as mentioned in first post.

Re: Question about spotting range
I think your spotting tank is on the Southern end of this map as it shows 3 hexes their, but not up North where you are pointing...double check your heroes

Sometimes I feel like Carl Childers stating the obvious.
"It ain't got no gas in it."

Re: Question about spotting range
Not to hijack this tread but when it comes to spotting range(s), do all cities and airfields have a spotting range of 2 hexes?
I suspect that this goes down to 1 hex during cloudy, rainy or snowy conditions as our units do but I'm not sure.
Thanks.

Re: Question about spotting range
I think cities one hex only and airfields none

Re: Question about spotting range
I always thought it is just one hex when they are empty?

Re: Question about spotting range
city hexes and airfields have vision on units right next to them. So they both have a spotting of 1. Other objective hexes have 0 vision. (These are mostly in mods and some of Afrika Korps, that I can think of.)

Re: Question about spotting range
My apologies, I had just watched that clip and it struck me funny. I did not mean to offend.
