RE: Alternate Artillery Rule
Hi DS,
Agree that the above tests need to be done. Glenn was right, density is a significant factor. Of interest this appears to actually favours the German's due to their smaller unit size (company etc). I need further testing to validate.
In the current test game, the German bunkers have actually held out longer due to the inability for the Russians to mass in stacks without disproportionate losses. German fatigue has not been a problem, though there has been the standard surprise disruption every now and then. The bunkers on map appear to make units almost impervious to artillery so that is a factor also. The killer is when units are in the open.
The other key change that will impact any scenario is the VP impact. The attacker is taking a lot more casualties and we need to get further along to see if the additional losses are critical. It just shows that there are so many ways to tweak a scenario and they all have an impact that the designer has to account for.
