That is why everyone should discuss ROE's with their opponents? :)
There are many different opinions, which some players get quite fanatical over, regarding ROE's?
I like historical flare with gaming fun.
If anyone remembers the old Squad Leader board game. In my opinion they ruined it when they upgraded to Advanced Squad Leader (version 5. -whatever-). It became so less playable and certainly less fun.
The same things happen with miniature rules. When I see a thick booklet governing play I often will watch it played to see if it could possibly be fun.
To each their own? The club will not endorse specific ROE's that will govern anyone's play.
