I agree. A good plan and proper scouting will allow you to control your opponent. Remember the OODA loop. By controlling what your opponent OBSERVES, you affect how he ORIENTS hisself to that observation and his plan. That means you are making inputs to his DECISION making process, which in turn allows you to affect his ACTIONs.
Everybody has a plan, even if they aren't aware of it. The default plan is to run around and get shot to pieces. So unless you make a different one, that is what you are stuck with.
So while you may be forced to chane plans, it is still better to adapt a bad plan to changing circumstance, then to ride the default plan down in flames.
The one advantage of the default plan is that your opponent will never attempt to force you to change it. As a matter of fact, some players have even been know to help you acomplish it:whis:

can we add:

Don't change the location of your game files during the match? :conf:

Ouch! I blame it on buck fever. I was in such a hurry to get down to it, I skipped my mandatory pot of pre-turn coffee. The last set should be ok, or at least playable.
Footnote Addendum:

"One day a Tiger Royal tank got within 150 yards of my tank and knocked me out. Five of our tanks opened up on him from ranges of 200 to 600 yards and got five or six hits on the front of the Tiger. They all just glanced off and the Tiger backed off and got away. If we had a tank like Tiger, we would all be home today." - Report by tank commander Sergeant Clyde D. Brunson from 2nd Armored Division, 1945.
