1. Normal
2. Limited (dice chess)
3. None (chess)

and why is it your choice ?

Normal as it seems to give it a more real feel of what war is.
Battles never go exactly as planned, and for that I use Normal, but I have considered Limited (dice chess)
Chess I have always seen as kind of sounds boring as it takes out some of the unexpected, unless they get Rugged Defense or they have hidden units.

Just my 2 cents

I used to use normal, but I was getting so cross with extreme results I switched to dice chess.

Now I can't be quite sure what's happening next but don't get so worked up, which is much better for me and for anyone in earshot who disagrees with my colourful language.

I use limited for the same reasons...

dice chess always, normal is just too random, dice chess allows for the unexpected without being ridiculous.

To start with I used Normal, but often got annoyed at the apparently random results, although accepted this can happen in real life. However, in OSL I surrounded a Spitfire with 6 fighters and even with the last 3 attacks when it had no ammo left it still survived to return to base, I switched to Limited (Dice Chess). Real life can be random but you have to draw the line somewhere!

I play with normal. I agree that war doesn't always go as planned, and the normal setting can reflect that to some degree.

My guess is that some players are quick to complain when a ridiculous dice roll doesn't go their way. When a ridiculous dice roll does go their way, they continue merrily on & hardly notice.

I can't deny I enjoyed one-shotting powerful enemy units with some B grade unit, but it was just too variable and extreme good results still didn't work for me, even though I enjoyed the result.

Normal.
Random gives much more fun than predictable chess.
