I was testing a scenario with a human opponent in PBEM recently. The procedure in a test is to play it once, report our findings and then reverse sides and play again. In the first match, my opponent was the attacker. I hadn’t played him before and was unaware of his style. After the first couple of turns, I became concerned that I could not see where his main effort was coming from. I could hear him, but had no idea where he was in force and what he was up to.
I play with sound off.
How much info do you get from sounds in these games?
In Combat Mission, it is a disadvantage to play with sound off.
How about HPS Squad Battles series? (For those familiar with those games)
