AI/Computer Selected Forces

[Air Master]

This is an Interesting thread but it sounds like a bit of nightmare trying to enforce all these house rules.
Maybe it is time Gary Grigsby took note and got on with making version 2 of his game. I read somewhere in an interview with him he might just do that and perhaps that would solve some of these problems.
I feel it is such a pity this great game suffers by some of the things you point out.

It is really quite easy once you play once or twice. Uncas has picked up on it very quickly and up to now only played AI. He just printed it out and kept it beside him.

A new SP, that would be interesting but not sure what they could do to improve it except maybe make it 3D instead of 2D, that would be COOL! Same game play and all, but the units look like in the old Panzer General.

I agree it is in fact very easy once one gets used to it. And most, if not all of it, enhances the realism feel and sometimes restrictive nature of real world force structures. The problem comes when the protocol set being played with is not agreed in one or two minor details! Perhaps the time has come for us to cobble one together that also includes Z fire and make it "Standard" if both sides agree.
