Excellent suggestions and input into the EA discussion!
I especially like your #1 and #2 suggestions.

It makes a lot of sense to have no assault value units (like transport and crewed guns); defending by themselves, to be overrun the majority of times by assaulting forces. A gun crew; with a handful of personnel, holding out against platoons of assaulting infantry and tanks... for multiple turns, really gets into the realms of science fiction!
Dan Caviness Wrote:2. Damage should increase for BOTH sides. I say yes....make assaults riskier.....but the pain should be dealt in the form of strength point losses and disrupts....not failed assaults. The same goes for failed assaults....even if the attacker fails....if he has the superior forces...he should screw up the defenders....making the next assault more likely to succeed.
Agree. Assault pain needs to go both ways and dealt out as you propose. One of the primary weakness of the ver 1.02 assault rules is the automatic success rate of assaulters versus disrupted defenders... and the nearly "risk-free" option of the assault itself to the attacker. Make the proposed assaulter weight the risks of assault to his own troops, but don't make assault so "extreme" as to effectively remove it as a combat option all together? :chin:
