Extreme Assault Clarification

[Schwerpunkt75]

ALCON,

I have a very ambivalent opinion on EA.

I agree with those who say that it is likely more accurate and realistic, and I am all for making the game more realistic.

However, I also concur with the poster who said that he got frustrated watching assaults fail that he felt should have succeeded. That sums up my experience, too.

The final point that has convinced me to shy away from playing with EA is that most scenarios' victory conditions were not designed with EA in mind. Scenarios that were balanced or favored the attacker under the old system will play differently, and not necessarily better.

I believe EA plays well in scenarios designed specifically for it, or in very large scenarios such as Von Earlmann's Kursk scenarios, where the attacker has large amounts of firepower at his disposal.

Overall, I like that EA is available to those who want to play with it, I just won't be one of those, for the most part.
