Guidelines to winning CM battles

[ATCS]

McIvan, I agree with you in that recon of defense in depth is unlikely. But the point here (I think) is that often, particularly with a QB, there is NO recon available. At least none prior to engagement. You have no idea of the force ahead of you - other than what Panther Bait outlined - possible strong points, flanks, etc. This all must be identified and exploited within the typical QB timeline of 20-35 minutes.

Panther Bait, I am intrigued by your suggestion of a third party providing a type of recon. I would be willing to give it a go...if we could find a third to give the recon. A smallish skirmish just to test the idea. I'm currently at work (Okinawa time), but could probably get some turns done around lunch time.
