Interestingly suggesting Cross, but it seems very detailed. I think the less rules the imagination flies. I also think that in war there are no rules.  
If players want to recreate a special field for battle if it can create more detailed rules.

My 'preferences' are just that, preferences not rules. It's just a list of things that I may want to think about and discuss with an opponent prior to a battle. It's a reference tool.
And I disagree
war does have rules of engagement.
I play battles with almost no rules, and some with detailed agreements.
If I was to play against you, we may agree to have no rules.

But this might be different in world at war 2 vs winspmbt ?

Lankinen,
It's not that I'm trying to limit off-map artillery, but rather I like that on-map artillery is vulnerable to armoured breakthroughs.
It forces players to protect their front line, or more importantly their rear, to keep their arty units safe. You have think a little more strategically.
If you succeed in getting to your opponents rear area it could be a hollow victory if there's nothing there, but on-map arty provides a prize for successsful breakthroughs.
