That is a great question! But, if they add bypass, then do they add vehicular bypass? Dash? MG Fire Lanes? Wall Advantage? Multi-hex Firegroups?Concealment? Blind Fire? Rate of Fire?Or, the goofy Sherman rule about getting multiple hits with HE because their 75 was so good at shooting HE Let's start the ASL IFT vs IIFT debate by advocating to abolish the rule that each additional MMC in a stack only contributes only half of their FP in a stack that fires together.
Don't get me wrong, I have certainly wished I could do all these things in LnLT, especially bypass. I just appreciate that LnLT has done a great job of capturing the essense of what SL/ASL intended but threw out the things that slow play down to an agonizing crawl through the terrain and the rulebook. Don Greenwood, one of the founding fathers of ASL, put it best in saying to stick to what the rules say can be done. If they don't say that something can be done, then it can't be done( Of course, I think that he was tired of fielding questions about every 'what if' under the sun.)
I do have my disagreements with LnLT's rules also. Like with open hatches on vehicles. As long as the armor stops bullets and fragments, how does thicker armor protect a crew better than thinner armor? Having head and shoulders sticking out should be just as dangerous for the commander of a Tiger as it is for a PzIV commander. I think that all open vehicle crews should just get a flat +1 or +2 modifier. I feel that this is an unrealistic rule since the PzIV's one inch of rear armor stops bullets as well as the Tiger's two inches of back side armor.(2 cm vs 4 cm more properly.)
Thanks for letting my spout on the subject of bringing ASL rules and concepts into LnLT. Just to let you know, it took me 30 min to nail down that Sherman multiple hit deal in the rule book. ASL lost its luster for me when Forgotten War, the Korean module, came with scenarios that had two pages of scenario special rules each.I'll take the smooth fast gameplay of LnLT over the clunky mechanics of ASL any day, even if some scenarios have a few special rules.
