The problem is not the assault rule

[RedDevil]

I think only the units with a radio symbol should be limited to calling in strikes this is the 1st platoon of every company and thus prevents the 2000 FOOs that would needed added to the OOBs...

all leaders should be allowed to call in strikes tho

one has to remember the scale is not squad but platoon and most platoons in many Armies had the ability to call in support from company assets and even regimental levels based upon their mission.

simple solution might be to add an AP cost to calling in strikes and give them a % of failure that "uses" up the artillery units AP and prevents allocation of those firing solutions due to radio miscomms, garbled messages etc...
