This something that has probably had to be dealt with abstractly (right
word?) as it represents what the LRDG (Long Range Desert Group (later the
SAS) used to do during WW2 in the Desert when they conducted raids, Recon
etc. Also, it is practiced still in the Armoured Units and
Cavalry/Mechanised units of all armies with reference to Fire Positions,
Hull/Turret Down Positions etc which I think the Infiltration rule
represents in the game. After all, within the game infiltration is just the
art of not being seen whilst getting into position and not the sneaking up
on an enemy and slipping a knife in their backs.
My thoughts, Darryl
