Shoot & Scoot

[Valor]

You must surely have seen documentary films of the Russian masses of T34's and soldiers charging the German defences. If not you must have read a book or two or even seen a war film.
Are you telling me the same charging Russians upon seeing the Germans took a shot at them and then turned around to find cover, before the Germans could open fire upon them. LOL

And that was why Russians suffered such heavy losses during the war, that's probably why Germans (among others) were able to slow them down for so long.

As Hawk said, CS is a game, game not historical recreation.

Why I must be forced to use the same suicidal tactics, while I can conduct the battle in my way? Not saying that better, just different.

What I really liked in CS was the flexibility of the system. You could do D-S-C tactics if you wanted, you could jump from cover to cover if you'd liked, you could just call for Ney's or Picket's style charge with all armor available.

I would not support changes in OpFire settings. Now you have carefully plan your attack / defense. How many units use in your move for moving and shooting, and how many units use for OpFire to fight back any counterattack. With no AP for OpFire all will be thrown to the wind. Just use everything you can, the OpFire will do all for you. Why plan anything, when you can post one Tiger platoon in open space, no one will be able to get close enough to do any harm to you (just an example).

I saw that system in HPS Napoleonic system. One arty battery could do real well stopping movement of entire division. But arty ammo was very limited, so you couldn't do it for to long. You wouldn't be able to use your arty later on. Here in CS that is no problem. In that system, above mentioned Tigers would be out of ammo (action) just in few turns. In CS they will be killing machines for the whole game.
