Platoon ZOC rule

[CptCav]

I understand how you would want to use ZOC's to model screening. The problem is the game time scale. An insignificant unit could end up delaying a significantly larger unit by several hours during which the attacker is only able to advance a few kilometers, which is not necessarily an accurate depiction of reality. How could one reasonably expect a handful of armored cars to screen a three-kilometer front or more accurately conduct a delaying action, which is what ends up being represented? Why should the attacker suffer in its rate of advance so that a screen of a platoon-sized formation withdrawing in front of it be represented? That is what I have a problem with.

However, I do sympathize with you as far as the scenario design issue is concerned. I know that I would be frustrated to have a rule change implemented that would negatively impact a scenario that I have designed.:pullhair:
