No strategic options open to players or squads.
No feights to draw off enemy forces prior to a real attack.
No flanking attacks. No pushes along one side of the map vs others.
No multiple fronts vs one country or another. Two "static" fronts that will press back and forth as one country or another has the numbers. WWI trench warfare.
No need for intelligence or communication or even coordination if you don't want it. Follow thy Blue Rat Line. You Will Fight Here. Period.
All of above applies only when we assume that such things existed
before the change. However, over the years I have realized that no group of people in any of the three countries are that intelligent. The only such effort I've ever experienced on any kind of reliable scale was the late RJO - the days when multiple Rook squadrons actually flew under a single chain of command. All the rest were just mingling around with little Napolean's sending out orders which noone ever listened to anyway.
* There was no strategic option in the first place. It was always horde or be horded.
* There was no feight. It was always
'go milkrun undefended bases and say that you were feinting, when really all you were doing was just avoiding enemy opposition altogether'* There was no such thing as flanking attack. People will attack anywhere, everywhere, as long as there weren't any defenders.
* There was no "front". There was always a certain part where the enemy horde drove in like a shaft, and another part where our horde drives into the enemy lands like a shaft. It was a contest of who drives in deeper unopposed, until one side finally crumbles under pressure and decides to finally defend something.
* Don't even get me started with
'intelligent communication'. The only sign of intelligence I could measure was how funny the jokes were.
My 2cents.
