1) the CWIE CRT favors defense to an extent that makes me wonder.  Most military experts regard 3 to 1 superiorityas being a good assurance of sucess.  IF playing the basic game of BWIE and CWIE(w/o attrition) this curtails counter attacks.  In campaigns in which this is a massive difference between the combat value of division sized units it pretty much eliminates them altogether. 

I am considering advocating a change to the CRT by adding A 1/2 ex and Ar.

The current sequence is  Ae Ae Ae Ae Ae Ae Aex Aex Br Br Dr Dr Ex Ex 1/2Ex 1/2 Ex De De De De De De De,  This sequence is then seeded into the four CRT's with the progression getting more favorable for the Attacker as we proceed from CRT4 to CRT 1.

I wonder what would happen if we changed the sequence to Ae Ae Aex Aex A1/2x A1/2x Ar Ar Br Br etc.

A chart constructed with this sequence would make the low odds attacks less all or nothing for the side making the counter attacks and might make it possible to actually do something when on CRT 4. As well as making attacking out of a pocket something less than suicide for the French.
