AI Maximum Defensive Fire Option ?

[Krak]

I agree with your ascertions. But I think it would be a nice option for those who desire it, especially to balance up a scenario ala Normandy or Kursk. I think in Kursk with this kind of option we would see the Germans take many more casualties in line with historical losses.

My pet peeve I guess is watching key positions fall because the defenders sit there and don't shoot back while they get the hit parade coming past and then get assaulted and pushed out way to easy for hardly any loss on the attacker. It just seems to happen a bit to often.

I cut my teeth in PzC with the manual method of play. With the move/defensive fire/offensive fire/assault sequence the defence becomes much more potent. Guess its just what one is used to.
