I’m playing face to face, most of the time, and using all optional rules except for Logistic shortfall and Formation activation.
Logistic shortfall should be used only if made mandatory by special rules, I think. Otherwise, it usually kills the scenario.
FOW is essential for some loss of command control.
Random events are an excellent way to introduce random historical events in the course of a scenario. See the Road to Dunkirk scenarios. I’ve used the same trick in the Fire & Sword scenarios.

I’ve also used the Mire rule intensively with no real issue. It seems to me that Woods shouldn’t be so easy to cross as it is the case if you don’t use Mire.

Overrun. Interesting option. It was funny to see PG newbies instantly using overrun rules in their very first armor scenario in a tournament in Brussels.

Extended assault. Very interesting too. But beware of last turn extended assaults when hex control is a victory condition.
