RE: LEAVE 1.04 ALONE !
I am not even close to understanding why this issue simply will not die.
For the last time: nobody forced anybody else to buy 1.04, and for those who did, nobody forced anybody else to play with the options on.
Where is the issue? Play with the version you like. If you cling to your Talonsoft, play that. If you still love JTCS, have at it. It really is that simple.
I am so tired of this argument. I could practically recite the points of both sides verbatim at this point.
For the record, however, I have yet to encounter the weird assault results some are encountering. I played a few turns of "Verdun on the Volga" tonight against the AI to see what kind of results I encountered. I have to say that none of the results shocked me. In particular, I launched an assault with full strength mot. rifle platoon and a full-strength pioneer platoon that failed against a disrupted Soviet rifle platoon and disrupted ATR platoon in a city hex with IP. The assault failed, but I subtracted 1-SP of the rifle platoon. Somebody explain to me, where is the crime in that result? Several other similar assaults failed with similar results, one or two other assaults succeeded in capturing hexes. Again, I find that the heavier damage inflicted by direct and indirect fire against a unit or units, the better the chance of success in assault. Now, how different is that from the way things were?
