The problem is not the assault rule

[umbro]

I would be very circumspect about actual forward observer units. They would add a lot of clutter to the game. Plus, how are they replaced when destroyed, etc. Further, it seems they were attached to field units in their role.

I would also look carefully into artillery effectiveness over range. I think that the idea was that the greater the range the more difficult it was to correct in the 250m square target area.

The storch idea can be simulated with on map aircraft assigned to the appropriate org.
