Double blind rules, sensors, and infantry
« on: 02 December 2020, 17:11:39 »
From the double blind rules in TacOps (corrected second printing/old omnibus hardcopy), page 222, there is no mention of what units radar sensors detect or don't detect.  Magscan sesnors don't detect foot or jump infantry, or any infantry less than 20 tons (reasonable); IR sensors don't detect infantry (...?); but nothing mentioned for radar sensors.

Do radar sensors detect infantry, and by what type (mechanized vs. motorized vs. jump vs. foot)?
Do radar sensors detect ejected Mech/aerospace pilots and 'ejected' vehicle crews?

Should IR sensors detect conventional infantry without stealth gear (camo/IR sneak suit, DEST suit)?
Should IR sensors detect ejected Mech/aerospace pilots and 'ejected' vehicle crews?
Think about it.  It's what we do.
