Is assaulting Bunkers too hard ?

[Ricky B]

It can be frustrating when positions hold out against seemingly overwhelming odds. Dennis/Landser34 and I had some discussions of small units holding out for extended periods during the testing, too. But my thought has been that if the units are crushed too easily, then the attacks will move much too quickly. Some bunkers along the beaches held out for an entire day after the landing moved inland, one on the Commonwealth beaches held out for days, although I don't remember where exactly it was.

Remember, the only way the defender will be crushed more quickly in this situation would be if they all disrupt prior to or during the assault. And actually, to keep balance, I agree that BOTH attacker and defender should probably disrupt more easily. Then the attacks will bog down more realistically although that would still leave the defender a bit more vulnerable than currently.

Tough to balance, the PDT is the only way to adjust it and it is much better than 5 years ago, and that won't really adjust the disruption chances, that I can think of. I do believe that overall things work, and the attacks mostly move faster than what happened in 1944.

Anyway, the defender will be done next turn it appears.
