Shoot & Scoot

[Herr Straße Laufer]

Again, I will say that I am unsure where I stand on this particular issue. I will observe that any game that players use ROEs, or dreaded "Gentlemens' Agreements" to play must have something those players do not like.

Exactly correct. It is a matter of personal use and "feelings" about the game.
I see shoot and scoot as a valid tactic, in appropriate situations. To take away that ability based on personal desire to remove it is not a valid reason.
Off the specific topic but relevant to the general discussion; I think Cavalry should have dismounted horses move at one or two hexes, due to the fact that one man is holding the reigns of four or five other horses, while keeping them "in formation". But, the riderless horses can move their full movement often creating a "stampede" which some players use for drawing opt fire. Personal ROE's are then necessary to keep the game somewhat "real".
Similar to the use of non-combat transports, personal ROE's to not use them to spot, draw opt fire, or block are often in effect. I personally do not play opponents who use them that way.
They are all on the map and capable of doing "unreal" things. But, to have the game engine changed to restrict it is so far down on my "wish list" that I believe "personal ROE's" are enough to "fix it".

If anyone does not like shoot and scoot they will eventually end up playing only those who do not use it?

It's a quite simple fix that could "please all the people, all the time"?
