FWIW i agree with Ed that this should be looked at in an abstact way, i could ramble on but the reality of the situation with AT guns is that experienced players just will not use the units in a historical way because the benefit they give you is totally outweighed by the penalty for their loss, hence they end up digging trench's. :conf:
I am
certain this was not the intention of the game designers and is just a quirk of the game system, however until this issue (as we see it) is resolved AT guns will continue to be a non entity in PBEM games.
Please don't think this is a moaning post, i just find the situation frustrating and i hope that those who attend TCIII might be able to demonstrate to JT why AT guns are so vulnerable with the present rules. :)
Whatever the outcome it is good to see the "Old Chestnut" of AT guns back on the forum!
