tournament proposal

[oldrocky]

I found the AFV movement rule in your sticky post at the top of the Forum and I consider it unnecessary with the terrain modifications implemented in the last couple SP upgrades. A density "40" forest hex is very hard to traverse with a vehicle reflecting the nature of the terrain compared to a lesser density hex such as a "0" density open terrain hex. I believe SP Camo did a good job in that respect. Also, I wish to keep the ROE as simple and easy to understand as possible without too many complications and extra rules that must be remembered.

There will be a Z Fire rule closely modeled on your known preference: 3 hex's for Infantry and 10 Hex's for all other weapons.

The Arty rules will also resemble your FO rules in that Arty of the same Battery/Section must be deployed within 1 hex of each other and target the same hex and if one gun of a Battery shifts fire then all the Guns in the Battery/Section must shift fire to the same target hex. However a dedicated FO for every Battery will not be required. Also: If artillery Z fires into a hex then it can also register immediate fire mission into the same hex and this is practical as well as historical because the weapon system has line of sight. However the short range factor will prohibit all but mortars from taking advantage of that rule.

I'm still considering alternate scoring options including the no V hex proposal.

Please keep offering idea's and preferences and we'll try to work something out that will make this enjoyable as well as playable for everyone.
