Is this a bug/mistake?

Yes some of the new units can be a bit of a stretch to one's sensibilities.

So what? Units like that have been around from day one (combat engineers clearing a 250 meter hex of mines or blocks in 6 minutes).

Not too long ago I played Huib's CCR/7 Into the Breach as the Germans. A sizeable portion is stuck behind a river. For many turns I was frustrated and annoyed as my bridging engineers did nothing, but delay a crucial element of my advance. Upon finally building a bridge I had to move fast and furious into battle.

All this time did I care about the abstract nature of the bridging function. NO. I care about getting a :censored: bridge built.

I had FUN.

Thats what it is about.

So to the designers I say keep designing and developing. If you can find the units and design them please do. I can decide if I want to use them or not.

As to new rules. Design away, but make them optional. Let me decide if I like the new rule.

Never forget what the basic building block of CS is 250 meters/ 6 minutes. But please continue to design creative and fun large sceanrios. I can abstract the time scale in my head.

And to all. Relax and have FUN. There is enough here for everyone to have FUN.

Its a game.

Thanx!

Hawk

Amen.
