My statement was that Engineers when added to an assault attack (the reference was for FWWC but I believed it would apply to PzC and/or MC as well) would have the effect of lowering casualties for the attacker and therefore increasing the chances of winning the assaults. I believed this so strongly that it effected the way I played, I husbanded my engineers and saved them for critical assaults because of this belief. Now, I don't mind being wrong and/or corrected, but this idea is so ingrained in me I'd love to understand why I thought it was so. Did I dream this up out of thin air, or has anyone else played a game (WDS or other) where Engineers provided that sort of assistance I'm thinking of? I'd blame advancing age and senility if I haven't believed this for years or decades.
Hello, All
Mr. Steel God will have some of company with the aging gamers here.
Count me as deficient at times - bad habits.
Engineer combat chops - eh - I think they just help out the odds.
I don't think that they reduce your losses.
Shortening the assault effort # of times could be helpful.
No ?
