T41/Ea42 Alt ZOC change.

RE: T41/Ea42 Alt ZOC change.
While this change might create a more linear feel/look i think you are overrating the staying power of a AC recon line, it is a very fragile thing that if not handled properly will be easily broken and the floodgates opened.

The ZOC rule is there to protect the non phasing player from simply sitting still and being surrounded, with high MP values, flat terrain and a low ZOC MP modifier the rule does not work very well for the non phasing player in the desert titles IMO. :chin:

Of course the change will have some negative effects, but when you weigh up the pro's vs. con's i feel it is a improvement to this title in which explicit supply is not possible in many scenarios.

What the desert titles really needs is a bespoke set of supply rules where isolation does not carry such a severe penalty as "normal" titles, if this were the case players (myself included) would not become so obsessed with surrounding your opponents units to obtain an advantage by lowering their combat values, but of course we have three sets of supply rules and we will not get a forth!. :)

I have no idea if Volcano Man would consider two sets of PDT files, of course with the editors changing the ZOC modifier back to 12 would be very easy.
