Quote:So how does this play out with the Alt scenarios? VM's list of optional rules does not include alt fire or alt arty fire. Should it be used when playing an Alt scenario in Normandy or not?
The Alt Assault Resolution rule is required by N44 stock because the OOB was designed with range 0 hard attack values in mind. As for the other ALT resoultion rules, it was simply that Normandy '44's designer (Wig Graves) felt that they are preferable given the nature of the campaign and the values set in the PDT and OOB files.
As stated in the N44_Alt notes document, many changed have been made to the scenarios, with the primary purpose being to no longer require all the other ALT resolution rules except for the ALT Assault Resolution rule. Changes made here are too numerous to mention, but it just a matter of what you are tailoring the game into. Normandy '44 stock PDT and OOB values were tailored to use those rules, whereas N44_Alt was tailored to not use them. So, if you are playing the stock scenarios then it better to play it with all of the ALT resolution rules on (as per default) so that you get the results that the designer intended.
