PZC System not much being said

The problem with the alternate fire rules is that it doesn't address overstacking in the traditional sense of having too many men, vehicles or guns in a hex. They punish the player with the smaller units. For example, let us look at the 900-man German infantry battalion versus the three 300-man Russian infantry battalions. The Russia player has to stack his three battalion in a hex to equal the firepower of the single German battalion. When the German fires, his full power is directed a one battalion and, then, each of the remaining two battalions also get wacked at a percentage of that fire. So, the German battalion gets OVER 100% of its firepower applied. Whereas, the Russian battalions can only apply 100%. Hence, as Napoleon said, "victory goes to the bigger battalions"; even though, the relative firepower should be equal.

However, I do like the alternate rules when both sides have somewhat the same size battalions; as it does force player to pay the consequences of massing to many forces in a single hex.

I think a better rule for punishing the massing of forces would based on the number of men, vehicles and guns in a hex; not the number of units.
