I was very irked myself. :rolleyes:
Bumpy ride is a great phrase. And, so appropriate. These last days seem like months. :smoke:
Won over? LOL!
I'll gladly march to the tune and sing the praises; when there is a new assault system in place that was neither the old or the new (sans bugs).
If someone even thinks to try to "win me over" I'd rather just put up my hand, and walk away. I'd rather not want to be talked into anything. 
If they show me that it is fixed, I'll play my heart out for the band. If they try to convince me that finger nails scratched across a blackboard is music, then I think I will simply leave. ;)

Ed,
From what I read over the past month, I don't think you will like the 1.04 assault rules, unless you are prepared to adapt your style of play to some extent, like other veteran players have done who want to play with the new rules. 1.04 extreme assault option is 90% equal to what you've seen in 1.03. So if you think it's something in the middle you may end up dissapointed.
Assaults in 1.04 are intended only for those hexes that you really NEED to capture, and it is not a means to speed up the game, collect easy points etc. No, assaulting will COST time and effort and sometimes blood. But if you prepare them well, and pick the right units to execute them, there is less chance they will fail. Sending out armor to capture infantry in urban areas, will not work, even if the infantry is disrupted, throw your own infantry in the melee with numerical superiority and you will likely score kills, or overrun the enemy.
I would recommend playing around a little when the patch is out, to see what works and what doesn't and you might be won over.
