Whether Dickens II was a good example or not, extreme assault will certainly affect scenarios that weren't designed to take it's effect into consideration, and, in some cases, that might not be a bad thing. Regardless, I'm in favor of turning the option off as a standard unless playing a new scenario where the designer specifically recommends it be used. Of course, if it isn't finalized, that becomes an issue of it's own.
Presently, NONE of my opponents opt to use it in our games. Same with variable visibility. I only use those rules playing the computer, as I think it gives the computer a small handicap. Hasn't seemed to matter much, but then my computer is really stupid.
Resolve then, that on this very ground, with small flags waving and tinny blasts on tiny trumpets, we shall meet the enemy, and not only may he be ours, he may be us. --Walt Kelly
