VE, I play over fifteen games pbem. My opponents are all quick players and turn around is superb. I've seen so much that your head would spin. ;)

You had to be very lucky. Any cover seems to increase the ability of a unit's ability to standfast. If the Amis had an officer in the hex that would be a deathnell.
A Kraut surrounded, out of supply, and disrupted engineer even had the chance to recover morale for me. It then extended the process of assault by two more turns. Lately I've taken to just shooting the crap out of enemy units. Though, horror of horrors, I still attempt assaults to see if I can get them to work more quickly. Maybe the toned down assault will work better for that? :eek1:
Von Earlmann Wrote:I will say again tho;of all the assault rules I still like the very first one the best. Never cared for the second one but couldn't figure out what to do about it with Talonsoft refusing to support the game anymore........I guess it was better than not playing, but I didn't play all that much either.
Early on I hated to be surrounded, disrupted, and then overrun. But, I learned to avoid the most devastating parts of that with some pretty nice counter tactics. Now I find myself leaning toward a change from the "tried and true" old way. But, not to the spectrum shift new way. The game is now taken out of the hands of the players and put into the hands of the game engine.

LOL! I'm an old Crown Royal man, that liked it two fingers and neat. Now I'm an "old" vodka man. Wedge of lime please! :smoke:
