Locked ZOC vs. 'loose' ZOC

[carl11]

Just wondering as  I am a relative newcomer to Pzr. Camp's.

I have played  Budapest and am now locked into the huge Rzhev Op Mars scn. .....after a few restarts;)


I have never played with the 'locked' ZOC option on.

John T. has a comment on the read me re: the Locked ZOC etc. as there is no 'continuous line' ergo. he created the locked ZOC as a way of providing the affect of one.

The loose ( Zero variable) seems fair to me and more 'playable', an enemy unit can 'zig zag' from an enemy ZOC to another but not thru....

I'd think with the locked ZOC, it would really grind the game down, one 250 class A/B inf. Co. or 'demi' Bn., in a bunker could literally stop 3300 men of equal class, inc. arty etc....

Thoughts? Do you play with a locked ZOC, if so why, ( or not).

I also have never played a game with the ZOC variable set as' One'....whats the game style difference re: One vs. a Zero setting?
