Default Re: what mix of forces do you use in PBEM?

I like limiting non-organic arty, snipers and air support. No more than 10% attached arty, no more than [x] non-organic snipers (depending on points -- for 20,000 point batallion size conflict I find 5-10 non-organic snipers OK), and I really have found games more enjoyable if you limit the air to 1 or 2 airstrikes. Even 2 airstrikes (i.e. 4 heavy attack helos) can be quite devestating in the later years. I enjoy the modeling of scouting, tactical maneuvering and broad strategy more interesting than floating a gunship at the back above some ammo trucks and then blasting anything that moves with a TOW 2-B.

That said, I've got a few open slots -- anyone wanna play?
