How do you see it?

What distinction do you make between a regular attack and an assault?

I have trouble imagining what a regular attack tries to portray. No problem imagining an assault: you close in on the ennemy and spook him out of his foxhole with grenades if he chooses to stand. Defensive fire is also easy: while the ennemy is closing or taking up positions he necessarily crosses open space and leaves himself vulnerable to effective fire. But once everybody has taken cover, there is not much to shoot at. My point being how can you make an effective attack without moving in (assaulting the ennemy)?

In Napoleonics the distinction is simple, you exchange stand-up volleys (regular attack) and at the critical moment you rush him (assault).

Anyway how do you picture regular assault for Panzer Campaigns? I just need to be suggested a picture (I am ususally easily convinced;))

On a more general level, my only other quibble with PC is the length of the major campaigns. To play by email looks like a lifestyle! I think 3 or 4 turns per day (instead of 10) would be perfect...

Otherwise PC has to most impressive line-up of games and the combat model seems quite well studied!
