The rifled musket made human wave attacks very dangerous.

The cartridge made them very costly.

The bolt-action rifle made them nearly suicidal.

The machine gun drove the final nail into the coffin

I think the game under rates the lethality of machineguns in the defense, but it would be very VERY difficult to balance it so they didn't become THE defense vs infantry.

I very much agree; especially after years of use of the MG3, ye gods it can saw anything to pieces and our boys in Helmand still prefer it to the various modern and low-caliber SAWs they have been issued.

Next game is a Meeting Engagement, I might reload that, for there were few meeting engagements in French Indochina. Usually the French were trying to pin down the Viets and the latter either evaded or accepted combat if Giap considered the odds heavily in his favour. So must battles in my campaign should be either advances, assaults, delays or defends.

Like your AAR.

You could view a meeting engagement as a quick spoiling attack, or an unexpected contact I suppose?
