If you want a hint, just look at my little avatar thingy in the upper left....

I will be covering some of it, too!

I think the bocage rules would be good to represent tall walls around French gardens.

Agree with Evan 100% - we have enough counters! I would rather use an SSR to represent slight variations. For example - One US infantry regiment that landed at D-Day used Springfields for about two weeks (Commander did not like the ammo usage on M-1s? I don't know for sure) until they chucked...

But in a really GREAT scenario design - both players can be screwed thusly. So whomever groks it first gets an advantage.

I get a certain satisfaction as a designer when players grok the scenario about mid-way through.

The goal was to keep the US forces just a little tentative. Leave a gap, and the Puma or a halftrack could slip through. Also for historical feel, as the over-extended 2nd Pz was trying to get back to a reasonable defense line. So if the German accomplishes such- even on a small scale- it would...

Correct. So don't use them.

OK well let me plant some trees on the battlefield in my Prep Fire Phase. Five or less turns it into a woods hex!! :rolleyes:

These both sound like excellent SSR ideas ;)

Whoa!!! Never thought I'd see the day!!!

Unless OBA is falling you or you are being overrun by a tank...

It's not. Name a battle in which the troops involved were expected to maneuver out of foxholes regularly, fighting as they went-- and dug them with that in mind. If there is one, I will design a scenario around it and SSR the new foxhole rules accordingly. I think original game designers were...

It is something GOOD scenario designers consider thoroughly (I typically provide them if the defensive positions will include enough grain or brush.)

No. I am saying that players who use them as intended receive the advantages and disadvantages as designed. You use them for something else-- you get something else.
