TYPICAL FIRST TURN PLOTS
Typical first turn move plots of a Meeting Engagement, it's a chore but it has to be done.
The tanks zigzag around clumps of trees, some are carrying infantry, I just want to get as much manpower and heavy metal up to the front line as quick as possible, so everybodys on 'Fast' except for a couple of HMG's on 'Move' who go exhausted too fast if forced to run.
AND THEN WHAT HAPPENED?
It went like clockwork, my infantry seized the flags and the Shermans were nicely positioned to fire into the neck of the woods that the enemy infantry were trying to infiltrate (pics below, light blue line shows limit of enemy advance at endgame)
PS this is only half the map, all his armour is miles away to the left in the other half, trying unsuccessfully for another flag, and I won the game. (He was WPC ladder leader at the time)
