my approach

[Stryker]

Personally, I look at the victory conditions, look at the map, set a plan in my head, then start the battle. I don't look at the victory conditions again until the last couple of turns to see if I need to do a "crazy Ivan" to get some kind of result (I see it as throwing in the kitchen sink - think of Balaclava)....but by then, you usually know if you deserve to have won or lost or drawn anyways....

How can you mention "halftracks" (even if it was a burp) and Patton in the same post without getting flamed???? I raise you a truck surround, a leader drawing op-fire, and a "Monty" - see how you like that! :smg:
