Question on tactics: Assault, assault and assault

[majog]

To be honest I think this discussion is a mute point unless Jason would even be open to changing anything. It has been programmed in this manner and people have been playing and designing scn's for it. While it is lovely to banter about the hypothetical, desired, or real world of looking at an assault it does not change what currently is.

The manner of assault that currently exists is what it is. More importantly we all exploit the strengths and weeknesses of each function system of play whether that be armor value, LOS, assaults, how to fire on retreating armor, opfire, etc. Chema started this trying to focus on a historical perspective of the use of that function but this is a game and that perspective does not work for the masses. Most people focus not on the historical accuracy of their play but rather how to win, which they should as it is a game. So what is, is and it works. If we want to discuss should it be changed and how that may be another thread.
