Question on tactics: Assault, assault and assault

[Huib Versloot]

He did not say assaulting was "ramming". He said that assaulting was attacks within a 250 meter hex?

We've already established previously in this thread that firing was something different than assaulting. (your own words) So what is this "attack" in the same hex then, if it is not ramming

Your premise exists when you defined Cole's ramming as his definition of assaulting.

That's your interpretation.

What I'm trying to point out is that people invent so called realism ROEs while at the same time they can't even give a definition of an assault between armored vehicles.

??

Don't know how I can be more clear. What is the definition of an assault between armor. In other words what do they do, since they are not shooting as they can't shoot from the same hex. If they do shoot, why can smaller calibers suddenly penetrate armor they otherwise couldn't (ie a HT or Panzer I can destroy a bigger tank)

Due to it's scale? Probably why some players like CM and others dislike it?

probably

Everyone seems to "overthink" the game in one form or another?

Because people invent funny ROEs without reasoning to back them up and then declare them 'commonly accepted'. Otherwise I wouldn't even have bothered. I never have had any problems with my opponents, nor have I ever discussed any ROEs before playing.
