Engineers

[Glint]

Ok. I've played nearly 300 pbem games and can honestly say scale never came into my mind once as to the enjoyment of the game. Sure it counts regarding basics such as how far a unit moves and fires per (6 minute turn?) Further than that I've never looked any further. There are many new units now that create more enjoyment of the game, if you don't like them, don't play those scenarios, play what you are happy with. I don't knock the purists, design and play to your hearts content, leave others to play their preferences. Perhaps a vote would show the preferences better and cut the persistant views of a few? With regards to engineers cutting through woods etc, seem to remember a Sherman Culmin cutting through a bocage hedgerow within 6 minutes or, so we assume the 250 metre hex is full of hedgerows to cut through? Therefore, is an engineer platoon bridging a 40 foot river/stream or a 10 foot one? Who says an engineer platoon can't cut through a wooded area that maybe 250 metres thick or just a 250 meter area with woods in it? I think some are taking the scale a bit too seriously. Is a platoon sitting behind a hedge/ brick wall or peering over it? Heck, we've all gone down this road before, especially with halftracks and lorries even! As was said before time and time again, some persistently argue the case for purity to the extent that they will brainwash people that their way is the only way and refute anyone else's views to the extreme.
Well, that may cost me another 20% warning level but let's hope each member's views can be aired?
