RE: Armor Facing Rule
Which side has the advantage with AF=on depends a lot on the scenario. When engagement ranges are short, the Allies benefit from the retreat factor and their Hard Attack value is getting high enough to cause those retreats. When they are long, the Germans tend to benefit (assuming they have some units with high front armor ratings).
As a new player, I used to consider AF=on much more "realistic" to me, but after playing for years now, reading a lot more detailed history, and playing some other games where AF is handled much differently (CM for one), I would side with AF=Off being more "realistic" on average.
