Winter is Coming

[Jeff Conner]

Vehicle Fire Over is a pretty benign optional rule, but Quality Loss Modifier can throw play balance out of whack if the games was not tested with the rule in common use. If I remember correctly, and given the number of years it has been that's a pretty wild assumption, Quality Loss Modifier made its appearance in Soviet Afghan War, but Ozgur did not want it used in Winter War. I believe the thought was that it applied more to the small density/irregular war battles of SAW rather than the major conflict that was World War II.

Now with all that said, if you are bound and determined to use some of the optional rules, I don't care all that much. Just be sure to use the same ones in both games against the same opponent. I know that Rabbit just got back from vacation, but hopefully everyone else is well on their way.
