Why alternative fire/art/assault rules in Normandy'44

[Glenn Saunders]

I'd have to leave this for Volcano to comment on this. But ALT fire was added to the Series specifically for Normandy because the orginal fire rules were created with Smolensk in mind. True - the first game came out with both sets of rules but that was because Normandy was well underway and in development before Smolensk mastered.

It really wasn't until Kharkov '42 - the third game of the Series that we began to understand the impact of the different fire rules on the results. I wasn't involved with the Smolensk development but Normandy was tested virtually exclusively with Normandy. We simply never considered NON ALT fre for Normandy.
