Options 1.04

[Tiger 88]

Well Gents - I maybe sitting at the top of the ladder - but I could give two hoots about that - and those that know me - know my words are true!

What I really care about is the fact that both sides have an equal chance at winning - and therefore - the balance is key to me with a good scenario.

In my opinion - the new rules have made the defender advantageous in most scenarios that I have or am playing - and have made the equality unbalanced. I do not like the fact that I have to have zone of control (meaning I have about every hex enclosed) before I now assault the enemy. This to me is not balance - now my guys are subject to the enemies artillery - or now I have to "shoot-out" the bad guys and hope that I get good die rolls to eliminate them - and how fun is it now to send tank volley after tank volley to try and eliminate the enemy?

You all know how I personally feel about the v1.04 rules and would really love to see something in between. I still play with both sets of options but my preference is playing without the new rules turned off.

Further - I keep coming back to this - when a single rifle platoon - disrupted and not at all at full SP can fend off engineers, rilfeman and Tiger II's on a paved road in a clear hex - well thats just a bit too John Wayneish for this cowboy!
