I'm NOT going to keep posting to these types of threads to have EA supporters repeatily tell me that "...everything is working as intended"... and "...shut up and learn to play."
See you guys on the battlefield! :smoke:
Well said Mike. Guys like you were the heart and soul of both the game and club.
As I said, the game lasted so long in it's version 1.02 form because it was fun, easy to play, and simulated the history of the period.
Like my first example, of Avalon Hill changing the board game Squad Leader from a fun, easy to play game (not beer and pretzels - more ease of play in a tactical simulation), into the monstrosity they called Advanced Squad Leader. The only thing that was "advanced" was how slow the game played and how many noses where stuck in the rule book and not in playing, and enjoyment, of the game.
Like I said earlier, if I have to rely on a spread sheet (or magical incantation precisely recited) I would end up frustrated and bored. That, to me, does not sound like a fun game that I would want to play for another ten years. :chin:
That said, the version 1.04 assault rules do show that the "disrupt, surround, assault and overrun" methods of version 1.02 may have needed some tweaking?
But, the extreme assault rule did not tweak. It simply radically changed the game.
Who voted for a radical change?
Who asked for a radical change?
Who wanted a radical change?
I keep asking myself those questions and the answers I come up with are not satisfying. :(:censored:
