| While we're talking about the Automatic Defensive Fire program, I'd like to try to identify <i>all</i> of the "triggering" situations that induce a check for "opportunity fire." As I understand it these events serve only as a possible check for "opportunity fire" and do not in and of themselves auto... |

| I might as well continue blowing off some more steam, since I've opened my vents already...but I'll do it in the form of a question, which I hope doesn't paint me as too much of a whiner. Does anybody else out there feel that the values in HPS for the <b>Quality Fire </b>and <b>Quality Melee Modifie... |

| Gentlemen, I thank you for your comments, one and all. I believe that what this comes down to <i>for the moment </i>is individual choice. Whether turn-based or phase-based the player who cares about realism in his simulations has a lot of things to juggle. I do appreciate the fluid nature of the tur... |

| I thank you for your comments, General Collins. Perhaps I should expand my experience by giving the "Phased Play," MDF ON - ADF ON option you describe a trial run. I think I would be satisfied if the HPS games played as the BG games do, although I still feel that HPS could and should give their ADF ... |

| OK! I'm finally biting the bullet. I refuse to play another HPS contest with the ADF option "ON." I refuse to sacrifice what I feel is both my studied and common sense knowledge of Civil War field tactics and combat realism to a spurious game code. Like many another newer player I was lulled into th... |

One would expect in that situation that the assaulting cavalry not only would receive around 100+ casualties but that the charge could very well have been disrupted! Col. Jos. C.

| Absolutely great stuff, Ken! For those of us who like to explore the inner workings of the game, this is the place to go. It ought to be considered as part of the recommended, post-graduate training regime for each military academy. Frankly what you've done here is raised the available level of game... |

| Thank you, Kennon, for explaining to me the subtle differences for ADF involved in "Turn" and "Phased" mode play. It will force me to more closely examine all of the issues of both modes. In the meantime let me ask if there is possibly room for consideration of reducing the penalty to ADF in the "Tu... |
