...since getting my 'bad' 35 meter ambush, I've noticed a definite increase in ambushes. I'm running about 50% ambushes since the inception.

To counter this, I put my scout into a buggy. For three scouts it seemed to work, however, every scout he started out yellow morale and quickly proceeded to red...and demo'd, until a demo happened 140 meters away from any enemy, with a friendly within 40 meters.

He stopped in front of a Black Stone, and had the #### shot out of him. End of scout.

Now I'm back to a scout in an Apache. Still getting more ambushes than before the new code and going out without a scout/low scout almost guarantees one. My last 7 travels have been 5 ambushes to 2 regular deployments.

With a 130 scout in a buzzer, I'm not getting many ambushes at all - in fact, I can't remember the last one I got when I wasn't messing about with fresh recruits in junkers.

I haven't noticed an increase in ambushes. Running multiple scouts from somerset with Apaches usually and <50 scouts and only an occasional ambush. Worst one was about 50 meters and we were behind them so I don't think that one counts really. :cyclops:

It may just be location that is having a major effect on the ambushes.

Since, for the most part, people seem to be able to play through with a teensy tiny bit more challenge, is this increase in ambushes really a problem?

Is it bug or a feature? I think feature.

I assume you always run with uber scouts though, right? Pretty much half my travel encounters have been ambushes, many of them new style. Only damage so far is one buccy and my nerves :)

Not necessarily Wolf, a lot is down to luck, how big a group you are moving, local piracy levels etc. Just had a 380+ scout (not in a heavy vehicle) in a heavy transport group get ambushed between Texan and Shanty.

My last 2 SS scouts got ambushed, with a 130 scout, in SS, both on the exact same spot, on the farmlands....

could be unlucky... have been geting close encounters but nothing too crazy.

our megas get ambushed but not too close.

I have just learned to put lorrys in the middle and surround them with the other vehicles and that protects them

There is a more general point here about what you're ambushed by. I sometimes feel like the CR of my opponents must be hugely more than mine, and they ambush me, getting hit with 8 rocket launchers on the first turn seems a little unfair.
