Civil War Battles - Optional Rules Guide 1.3(4.04.1)

[phoenix]

I'm a bit confused here, now. Just starting with this series, really, having previously given up on it because I couldn't see the 2d maps well enough, but now that an extra 2d zoom level is being rolled out I'm trying again. However, I don't really want to double the PBEM moves, so I wonder if someone might post a list of recommended options for PBEM play without MDF? To achieve play closest to the historical, and most balanced, I mean. I assume the helpful list of options BigDuke 66 has selected and recommended is for play with MDF on. But I really want to play with with MDF off.

Cheers,

Peter
