Extreme assault?

[Hawk Kriegsman]

Let me give a concise and explicit response - that leaves no room for any ambiguous interpretation? :chin:

I fully understood your posts. I interpreted nothing ambiguosly.

Every scenario, every game played, is effected when using extreme assault. (Thanks Ed!)

Yes this point has already been agreed upon. Some very minimally (like Unexpected). Some unbelievable (A Familiar Enemy comes to mind).

I referenced an example of EA in a recently played scenario to illustrate what I experienced with the use of EA.

Yes you did. Which Alphons took the time to look at and respond to.

I NEVER discussed EA's impact on the scenario outcome.

I would humbly ask that you read your posts before making such statements. In response to Alphons you wrote in post #73

But every victory point is located in town hexes surrounded by trenches and bunkers with nearly every approach avenue defended by troops in trenches and bunkers defending in woods and hill hexes?? !!

This in fact would be an example of you discusing EA impact on the outcome of the scenario.

You further went on to take a shot at Alphons (which is strictly the domain of Mr. RR) also in post #73 here:

Wow! :chin:

Actually, your reply is rather scary and somewhat enlightening, especially coming from a scenario designer. It tells me that some scenario designers do not understand the impacts of EA on either game design, flow, or victory conditions. It also tells me that these same individuals (with just a cursory glance at scenarios they have never played), readily dismiss other players' (who actually PLAYED and COMPLETED scenarios using EA) comments on the impact of EA to scenarios. Wow! :chin:

If you solicite for opinions and comments expect to get them.

I was discussing EA's impact on game flow and player enjoyment. Other players keep pointing out that the "Unexpected" scenario outcome is the same, whether using EA or not. THAT IS NOT MY POINT!!

Is this in keeping with (see post #79):

I also try to maintain a fairly "thick skin"

What I am seeing is a whole lot of :hissy:by you.

My point, and please read this carefully...

You left out that you were typing slowly to make the insult to me complete!

is that EA severely impacts game flow and reduces game enjoyment for me. And YES, EA was the reason that "Unexpected" was a painful experience for me.

Very good, you hate it, don't use it.

So, again, I have a solution to EA. I just don't use it. :smoke:

No, what you have is YOUR solution to EA.

But it is regrettable that we only have two "extremes" when it comes to selecting assault options. :chin:

You actually have a 3rd option. Don't play.

Thanx!
