Logistic shortfall shit

[Schoenwulf]

My view was always that such variables if needed can always be penned in the 'SSR' section very simply if they were needed. As far I'm concerned there is no need for their chance to appear in every scenario.

Having given this optional rule a couple of tries, I have to agree. It would be ideal for the scenario designers to insert this rule in scenarios where its use is consistent with some historical context. It came into play in both games. once for one side, but in the 2nd game, both sides had shortfalls. One experienced shortfall on the first turn (!), but since this was a defender posture, it's possible that they could have been undersupplied and caught off guard. However, the attacker had a shortfall on Turn 5, and it went "critical" on Turn 7, which is inconsistent with the concept of a planned assault. This just appears too gamey unless both sides agree to it for the thrill (?) of gambling on the outcome, as it is pretty crippling, particularly if it becomes critical.
Actually, there is also a somewhat random component to the optional fog of war rule as well, since that came into play on 64% of the turns in one game. This significantly limited the attacking side's opportunities for a coordinated assault. However, that rule deserves a few more tries to see if it will skew game results significantly.
