Rules of Engagement?

[Troll]

I can not vote yes or no in this pole because of the following reasons. Players have touched on the Blitz ROE which are fine with me, Players have also touched on agreeing on certain ROE before play and that is also OK with me, But no one is addressing the CS Rules of the game, if the game allows it and it is not a glitch or a outright cheat, those ROE are also fine with me. The game its self is far from being realistic, then to put further limitations and restrictions on movement and tactics further takes away from the real life of the game. Much has been said about exit hexes, an exit hex is an exploitation point on the map and the object of the hex is to move as many of your units through the hex for maximum exploitation. As a real life commander why would I leave my trucks behind when I could transport my Inf in them instead of having them walk through? There are exit hexes in the Campaign Games should Transportation Units not be allowed to move through them also? The bottom line is there is no good reason to leave anything behind. Transportation units are essential to the continuation of the battle where ever that battle may be, on or off the map. If this is the case Off Board Artillery should also be not allowed. And how could you possibly know or even enforce a rule regarding using halftracks to draw OP Fire. Now I am FORCED to NOT move my HTs in the open? Or I am now FORCED to hide all of my trucks in a spot where the other player can not see them? If I need to get to a specific hex with a HT or a truck and it draws OP Fire so be it. Turn the OP Fire Off then. I do not want to be Forced to not do something that the game allows. HTs and Trucks were always used for spotting and recon vehicles, that is a fact. In Vietnam trucks and APCs were used for spotting all the time, some trucks even mounted twin 50cal Mgs. You never sent a tank out to spot on its own, you draw fire and then move the tank in. The bottom line is I do not want to be Forced to a set of rules that go against real life situations or the rules that came with the game, just like I would not want to be Forced to believe in any certain religion. With that if people want to agree on certain ROE prior to a match so be it, but don't Blanket the whole Blitz Membership with a set of rules that they do not think are reasonable and or realistic. I think Chuck said it the best and is below, Play for fun :):):) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"I think it comes down to a matter of playing for fun !!! who cares what happens, win or lose having fun is the most important thing. And those who play to win, win at all costs and if it wasn't spesficly spelled out its not a rule. I play to have fun look at my record, and to me it really doesn't matter what tatic you use, as long as you have fun. Block hexes use trucks to spot if winning is that important to you then do all that. To me its just not that important, have fun and enjoy the game for what it is A GAME and no more,people are reading a lot more into this than need be. Have fun people, just have fun !!! Chuck"
