Hi Seabolt,

I agree that a player shouldn't be shunned for use of a legal option, but human nature attracts us to people who are more like minded.

For example: I prefer not to play against opponents who 'legally' field armies of snipers. Building this preference into my pre-game discussion has kept it from being an issue.

This may not be tennis but battles should still be fought with good sportsmanship. I think we should kill one another with decency. Perhaps that's because I am British:chin:

Using vehicles to relay (shuttle) forces used to be a gamey practice in SPWW2. Many wouldn't do it, even though they could. Eventually SPCamo introduced the load unload cost which was a good solution.

I think you totally hit the nail on its proverbial head with the ammo loadout. I think the units probably have historically correct loadouts for the most part. But this is game where battles are a compressed and intense representation.

Therefore, it may make sense to make ammo shortage among infantry and MG units more of an issue. In these battalion level battles, I should have to worry about infantry and MG ammo. Currently, I only concern myself with artillery shells.

The ammo for some units could be lowered drastically, or it may be possible to make Z-fire an ammo expensive choice; perhaps using up 5x or 10x the ammo.


cheers,
Simon
