nothing is worth having unless you fight for it. the idea that this change is directed to benefit furballers is just rubsish. if you think this idea is to allow for more fighting, which is what actually happened in war, then you are probably right. at any rate don't lose sight of the fact that this is HT's game, and he will do with it what he pleases....that said what pleases him most is probably making the general community happy, not the few that like to milk run undefended bases and congratulate everyone on a well none battle fought. sugar coat it all you want, but the majority of people play online games to be involved with the community, not to steam roll undefended bases because the other country has so few a numbers they can do nothing about it. the biggest flaw with self proclaimed "realistic" simmers is that at least here they think this war should be won, land should be taken with no battle at all, and then somehow claim that this is how all war is fought. ya, just like Normandy.
if you guys want to try to elevate an online game to something more, why not try to do so in a way that at least respects the efforts made by true war hero's. you guys want these wars to be won in a day or 2, then talk about being realistic, please spare us.
that said, it's a game. it should be a challenge and it should be fun for everyone. taking undefended fields because the enemy does not have enought numbers is certainly not a challenge, and generally not fun for most people. people give furballers a hard time, we just want to fight, that is all. it seems many strat guys want to take territory, but do not want to fight at all; okay, tell me where the gameplay is there. some of the more respected strat squads out there are always up for a fight. i never thought i would see the day where people are defending such a pathetic practice in "online gaming." but here you have it, the object to fight and interact as little as possible. go get em, you guys are truely and inspiration.
