Dynamic Friendly Fire

 

A re-occurring topic in the Forums has always been Fog of War and how and why units misidentify other units.  In the Demo we can see this in place somewhat but not to the dynamic extreme that the Full Version will portray.  Keep reading to see what happened to this poor wayward British Commando unit!

 

This example of friendly fire is taken from a night-time commando raid scenario.  British commandoes are attacking the German platoon in the objective house.  Unfortunately for one British squad which was separated from the main British thrust as it slowly walked back towards the rest of its platoon its comrades misidentified it and began to fire on it.  Even worse for these poor fellows is the fact that the Germans in the house are also targeting them.

Note that the Unit is still not properly identified.  Love that night sky!  Units have been enlarged slightly to see them better...
