Have default optional rules changed?

[Kool Kat]

I know there is vocal minority that want many of the optional rules folded into the normal rules and less choices to be made.

David:

Optional rules have expanded to 26 choices. There is a wide deviation of default optional rules. The .alt scenarios have wide deviation of game parameters. Game rules and game menus are found in separate manuals. Optional rules detailed explanations and examples are located in Forum threads.

Examples: 


(1.) Smolensk '41 has one Optional Rule - Night Fatigue as the default. The standard Campaign scenario has Night Move Disruption = 0%, but the .alt Campaign scenario has Night Move Disruption = 60%.

(2.) Stalingrad '42 has six Optional Rules that are default.

(3.) Scheldt '44 has fourteen Optional Rules that are default.


Is it not time for a more conscious and deliberate effort to either consolidate this information or at least provide players with a procedural list of "best practices" on setting up a scenario before play? Perhaps a procedural checklist that guides players in a step-by-step process from scenario selection to Optional Rules selection to consideration of .alt scenarios, would serve as an useful playing aid?
