Close Combat: The Bloody First – Realism Settings Guide
Realism Settings
Below the Difficulty Level indicators are the Realism Settings. You can change the indicators by clicking in the adjacent check-boxes and selecting your desired conditions.
Visibility: This can be set to “See All” meaning you see all opposing units, or “Normal”, where you only see opposing units within LOS (line of sight) to your units. Visibility can change with weather conditions or night time combat.
Enemy Info: The choices Full, Normal, and Limited set conditions that can either simulate real battlefield conditions or a player can see exact information about the enemy that are visible. This can be a useful option for new players as they learn the game.
Initiative: You can choose to have your soldiers exhibit no, normal or high initiative. Depending on how this option is set, a unit may decide to advance or retreat on its own if it is left idle for a long time.
Morale: The player can decide whether his troops are Fearless, Motivated, or Cautious. Fearless soldiers will never be suppressed by incoming fire and will never panic or run away. Motivated soldiers can handle a significant amount of incoming fire before becoming suppressed (but may still crack under combat pressure). Cautious soldiers are more likely to be suppressed even by a relatively low volume of incoming fire.
