Question on tactics: Assault, assault and assault

[Herr Straße Laufer]

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

LOL! Your further line of reasoning made me think you did not understand what was being said.

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)

Maybe the dictionary will be helpful?
Assault; (4th description) Military term, a) a sudden attack upon a fortified place b) the close-combat phase of an attack
I think "b" combined with what Mike, Panther Bait posted may be enough of an explanation?
It also justifies my first quote, listed above.
It's a part of the game engine. Do you wish the designers and/or developers to remove it? :chin:

Because people invent funny ROEs without reasoningto 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.

In my favorite Jerry Seinfeld voice; "who are those "people" ... and why do you think they invented funny ROE's?"
Your assumption that they are "without reasoning" seems to be a jab that has no reason to be here? Erecting 'strawmen' or specious at best? :rolleyes:
Who declared anything "commonly accepted"?
And, if you had bothered to ask the questions or read the old posts concerning Assault ROE's or participated in them, you may not "feel" the way you do?
This has been a subject that has been discussed since before I joined the club and on & off since then. And, it has been featured on almost every discussion of ROE's in tournaments, due to players using different ROE's. I think it has come up in every accusation of "cheating" or using "stunt methods". Most of the time I remind players to discuss the ROE's of their opponents beforehand.
It lessens the whining later? :smoke:

Huib, thanks for your input. Once again your personal viewpoint has been enlightening.
