Playing as Isreal, 1st game, I started a war. I could not for the life of me find out if I move units on to a "open terrian" hex that is next to a close combat hex (with enemy) if my guys were attacking or defending. Now order my unit into the close combat hex just to the next to it.
What was trying to do is use a unit that had great soft attack (terrible att/def close combat) to stop them from leaving. So if they are attacking me then I shouldn't suffer from close combat, right...........? or are my guys just saying screw let's get some killin' done?

Been awhile since I discussed this but..
If one group of units controls a close combat hex close combat values are used. Defense and attack are 2 different values.. think of it as attack power and armor rating. Its not an either or.. they are both used in combat. Its not about who is attacking or who is defending. Its your close combat attack vs their close defense and vice versa = damage.

ok I get that, let me ask his way if to units are next to each other one is on a close combat, and is open, which hex is being used for combat stats. or does just merely being next to a close combat hex mean no matter what C.C. stats are being used?
I know these are simlpe ?'s but after a week if looking I couldn't find this answer.

lol nm mind my last post, I re-read yours, missed the part that answered my question. a little tired over here, thanks.
