It's...as if the AI couldn't attack my units that it encounters in the FOW and that it didn't see before it moved.
This behaviour is especially exploitable with AI arty. I think some AI unit types should not move or be taken out of the computational cycle until the very last moment of AI calculations for the turn. So many vasted opportunities with idle AI arty positions when a valid target is seen only by some unit during the last cycle of a different AI team.

I don't have Endsieg because mistakes in availability and upgrades that haven't been patched is enough for me not to get it as they are very important.

My inf just does flank cover and finishes off weakened units. But the SPATs set the pace, everything else is just support or preparation (Nebelwerfers). I think that this approach is almost a bit too successful, even though I would not consider it an exploit or something in the range of that massive K17 group some players have shown here.

My only regret is Andy had been posting his set up screen shots for the various scenarios but seems like after Vyazma only the victory screen. Hoping to persuade him to publish the rest In any event well done and has added to my enjoyment of this DLC.
