Opinions about "Game rules as used by players"

[wulfir]

Anyway, the rules don't slow anything down but they do add realism to the game. 

Do you mean the pace of the game or how interesting it is?

It seems to me a more realistic approach to the game must demand more turns before you win or lose?

In my current game against BigDuke66 I have attacked forward with my US 1945 armored infantry mounted in half-tracks. Even into enemy held villages. The realistic approach would be to dismount the infantry and walk them forward while artillery smashes up the village..., getting through would take twice/trippel the amount of time...
