Which optional settings enhance the realism factor in PBEM games?

[Ricky B]

Just realize most of the optional rules have nothing to do with realism, at least directly, and some counteract others - I think the link Foul posted explains some of the conflicts, such as with supply rules. And some, such as optional surrender, may reduce realism, depending on your POV. Definitely, in regard to the alt fire and assault rules, play with the scenario designer default, as off or on doesn't impact "realism" just how the fire is implemented, and can have a major impact on overall losses for one side or the other.
