I like your new intro. The balancing changes definitely make the game more challenging. I found that in the both the runs I just did I was running out of ammo frequently even when taking every opportunity to get more.
After holding every position strongly, in the last week the pressure built up rapidly. The lack of ammo resulted in me being unable to fortify, and take major losses quickly.
A lot more opportunity for different strategy now. How does the tank sortie or artillery fire work exactly? The VM Assault status seems to be reactive, so it seems that sending the tank somewhere is more of a preventative measure than a reactive one. Are airstrikes the same?
The lack of AP and bad weather makes conducting consistent recon very challenging.
Thank you for the response, I look forward to playing more.
