HPS PzC II

RE: HPS PzC II
I don't think I would support a change indicative of a tactical maneuver.
Don't forget that the German army had an actual defensive and offensive doctrine at the operational level. The Russian front tended to blow those doctrines apart because there was more geography than resources, but the doctrines were still there.

We model PZC defensive doctrine with the ability to improve the units defensive posture. One could suggest that the "line formation" is already abstracted. I don't think it would be practical to have a formation tool offensively because most often the formation is dependent upon terrain and terrain is a frequent modifier in the gamer. Terrain is a substitute for formation selection.

If you want to see if "formation" impacts combat results in a game, I suggest using Command Ops (although you can't buy it right now because it will soon be CO2). Formations can be selected and the scale is similar. It might make a good test scenario.

The battles in PzC can be huge (I'm playing an 80 turn in PBEM now) and I don't want to make it more laborious by dealing with more minutiae, I want the same gameplay made more dynamic.

I want to keep hearing ideas out there, so let's keep it up.
