The Tedium of Assualts

[Blackcloud6]

I can recall seeing a variant long ago that imposed a morale penalty of -1 on units that were surrounded. It was meant to reward flanking and make these sorts of endless assaults less common. You might try it.

That is a very interesting concept. ASL has a similar rule called encirclement, a unit suffers a -1 to morale if shot on from opposite or three non adjacent hexsides.

A rule like this might make one deploy his defense a bit more spread out, PG seems to promote condensing troops too closely.
