Engineer retreat and minefield disaster!

[Krak]

Volcano man I hear you. I have played PZC in both the default method and the manual defensive fire phased method extensively. All these problems of time and space, defensive weakness, ease of wiping out disrupted units etc are not existant in the phased style game. IMHO the phased game is by far a better simulation. Unfortunately it takes way longer than in the default method to play a PBEM game. So we are stuck with these nuiances. But for those with the time, if you want to play a more 'balanced game' where the defender can deliver some retribution try the phased game. Breakthru's must be worked for and are not simply the result of several unrealistic killer stacks roaming the battlefield. One must resort to actual combined arms tactics to succeed.
