The problem is not the assault rule

[umbro]

It seems that the most straightforward (and perhaps even most valid) simulation would be to allow radio equipped units to spot for arty and add radios to leaders (or give them the ability by default).

This seems to work for West Front armies, but the couple of EF scenarios that I checked seem to give radios only to HQs. This is probably a pretty accurate simulation for the russians, but not the germans. Is this an aberration or is the true for the EF OOBs?

I thought that the first platoon of each company was automatically made a CP? Which, of course it is - as long as you have the Command Control option on! So there you have it. An extension to the command control option that limits spotting to CPs, HQs and leaders. Unfortunately that does not simulate the differences between the western armies and the soviets.
