RE: Extreme Assault
I always use extreme assault with the Matrix version and never use it with the Talsonsoft version (obviously).

That being said extreme assault is slightly better than easy assault.

Assaults still need lots of work IMHO.

Thanx!

RE: Extreme Assault
I had to vote "No, never", but that's only because my current opponents don't like it, not because I'm opposed to it.

RE: Extreme Assault
I am not a fan at all. In the earlier scenarios, especially in the desert you need to be able to storm ground with superior force. Not pull up and park and try to shoot it out against entrenched AT guns point blank with the inefficient armor of that period. Especially because there is no cover for attakers usually.

RE: Extreme Assault
I kind of like the extreme assault because there are no guarrantees if the assaulting troops will take the position or not. Sometimes it's a little bit overboard on the difficulty in taking the position, but I still prefer it. It has changed many of the scenarios into real contests and made others an impossibility for the attacker, but "what the hell"....it's like getting dozens of new scenarios because the outcomes are definately not certain.

I play whichever method my opponent prefers. :smoke:

RE: Extreme Assault
Hello,

Sometimes, it mostly depends on what my opponents prefers for rules.

I think it is a good rule, better than the old assault rules.

RE: Extreme Assault
Only when forced to, so I picked no.

I thought the wording of the poll made it hard to pick no.
I would have picked no, if it asked if I "liked it" or if I thought it made the game more "real".

I prefer not to use it. But, the poll asked if I never use it. When opponents pick it, I play it.
And, like Hawk, I think the intention was nice but, the rule as it stands needs a lot of work.

As it stands it seems to help those who did not, or could not, master the tactics called for under the version 1.02 and, for the most part, the AI in defense. You can still draw the AI out of good defensive positions and take it in the open.
I believe the pendulum was swung too far and displays the inadequacies and flaws in both version 1.02 and 1.04 assaults.

I still could not vote no. Though, most of my opponents will not use it, some do.

cheers

RE: Extreme Assault
I picked No, mainly because old habits die hard.

I never really had issues with the old way of assaulting, mainly because I rarely use this method of attack in most scenarios in the first place.
Thus, what is of supreme importance in war is to attack the enemy's strategy.
