Original OOB or McNamara OOB - Which is best?

[Volcano Man]

Peter,

Don't get too wrapped up in how much they (British and American AB that you were specifically referring to) have decreased because you are not looking at the entire picture. The German infantry values have decreased just as much and you are not even taking into consideration defense values and assault values. So yes, when you look at one value and compare it to the stock OOB you may not like what you see but you have to take it as a whole. There is a qualitative advantage and they have other, historical strengths that you must play to.

But as Glenn said, it is all a matter of personal preference. I know some that play stock games with the default rules and that is it for them, and that is fine of course, but some also tell me that the ALT scenario's OOB changes (in their opinion) makes for more historical results and more tactical freedom. So it is all a matter of what you like.
