Realistic settings

[Walrus]

Hi Zombie
There's a great debate as to what is 'realistic' with this game.
I am afraid there are no easy answers for you.
Each player will have preferences that they like to play with.

I tend to be fairly standard (when I play, which is rare now days) and have all settings at 100%, country training on, breakdowns on, ammo limits on etc...all things that force you to play a harder game.
I think most guys would agree with that set up.

However, depending on whom you are playing and what type of battle, often players will standardise the country training to make the forces more even perhaps.

Also, depending on the player, some people will raise the searching %, or lower the hit %, etc to get a more difficult battle...no so much 'one shot - one kill' action which can get a little tedious.

The main stuff that;s always under debate, and always worth a conversation with your oppo before a battle, is to do with arty rules and z-fire (indirect).
Many will have a limit on 5 of points spent on arty, or a rule as to not starting arty plots until turn x. Also there may be limits on use of ammo resupply, or MRLS type units...or calibre sizes depending on size of force...the list goes on.
Weasel has a good rule idea based on purchase of FOO units giving you a certain number of 'shoots' per turn. Quite realistic IMO.

Z-fire can make or break a game for me, and some player over use it...aothers think that is fair enough. Definitly worth a conversation.

Anyway, hope that helps some.
