Soak off attacks, love or hate them and what to do?

[Weasel]

I suggest making tank fire more lethal for infantry. It seems you can put several rounds in the vicinity of an infantry unit and inflict no damage. Infantry soak off would be given a second thought, if one knew that his infantry would get severly suppressed in the return fire and probably without even buttonedn the tank.

Agree, that is why in my 8F rules tanks are increased to 130% while infantry is decreased. Even if the rounds don't kill, a 75mm will make you look for a deep hole real fast.

Have you played (m)any matches with your latest settings? I'd be real interested in reading your observations.

I'm playing my first SPWW2 3.5 match right now, and I want to have the impression that infantry is a bit more fragile now. But it's a little too soon to say that. (Regardless, the new artillery rules are sheer awesome. They've really improved the game play.)
