The problem is not the assault rule

[Steelrain60]

I absolutely LOVE this thread (especially given some of the threads we've had to suffer thru recently). I've always thought that all units being able to call in accurate artillery fire within their LOS was one of the weakest, if not weakest, points of an otherwise strong game.

Here's one for all to consider: any possibility of introducing national artillery characteristics? For example, Russian artillery, while numerous and powerful, was never very responsive, in large part due to shortages in communications equipment. Perhaps this could be simulated by the Russian player being allotted fewer observers? Any thoughts?

While personally I like the new assault formula, I can understand the frustrations of those who don't. Depending on how it's done, I think that resolving this issue could go a long way to making the 1.04 assault rules more palatable for some without actually changing them.
