Not that God has anything to do with this?
At first I was just going to let this go with my original comment. But, upon further reflection I felt the need to address it.

mWest seems to have made himself a casualty of Extreme Assault and remove himself from the game?
He did not get his negative attitude from me.

Your "strawman" needs to be addressed? Somehow I know you, and any others, do not have access to my e-mail comments. They went essentially like this:
Mike wrote; "Ed, does extreme assault slow the game down?"
Ed wrote; "Yes, it does."
Mike wrote; "Ed, is playing without extreme assault a more fun game?"
Ed Wrote; "Yes, in my opinion it is."
Mike wrote; "Ed, I cannot stand the way extreme assault has changed the game."
Ed wrote; "Yes, it has changed every scenario. It plays as an entirely different game."
Mike wrote; "Can we end it now and not go through the torture?"
Ed wrote; "I think I can change the outcome and show you how to battle against extreme assault along the way. Can we try?"
Mike wrote; "Sure, but I do not like the game with extreme assault on."
Ed wrote; "O.K., we can try our next one without extreme assault. I'll let you pick scenario and side."
That, my dear Herr Huib is the gist of the e-mail exchanges that you believe are so negative and "poisoned" a new player's mind?
We played two scenarios with extreme assault on and one with extreme assault off.
He terminated play as he wanted to get "seasoned" through learning from other players before resuming a match against me. Mike strongly disliked the way extreme assault made the game feel. he told me he did not enjoy it and expected more fun from playing with rule version 1.02.
Mike got his bitterness from somewhere or someone who is not me?
Having made the comments from memory, Mike can correct me if I made glaring statements that are not true?
On top of that Gavin, who has been playing the game and a member of the club longer than me, has left the game over extreme assault. I do not think that either were from being poisoned by me.
Alfons de Palfons Wrote:Your statement that the scn should not be played with extreme assault because of the GERMAN chances was rather unconvincing, especially where the initial complaints were about Germans holding out too long.
Here you are mixing apples and oranges?
I said one unit was holding out for too long through the miracle game engine die roll that comes with extreme assault. I did not say that it effected the scenario's outcome.
Both mWest and I felt that we saw "unrealistic" results over the course of nine game turns.
Now, that being said, I do not mind when my written words are in dispute. I do mind when words are put in my mouth to make a point to refute something I had no issue with. Especially from someone who, months ago, said he would not read my posts nor comment upon them?
Now, to all the "complaining non-combatants". Let me know where and what I have said above that warrants a complaint? I see none.
