JasonC's writings

[Rico (FGM)]

I find jason's articles interesting -- but the dry "accountant" style of playing CM is not for me.
Also, I seldom buy into the CM QB concept of making a trip to "Panzer-R-Us' and go shop for the ideal kit. WW2 commanders never had that luxury. "Sorry, Colonel -- we've only been issued PzIIIH's, so we'll refuse the order to go to battle and try and stop that horde of T-34's until they send us some PzIVf2's from the Reich." Most times you play withe cards you're dealt with. That's why I relish the challenge of random-pick battles... and hey, sometimes you lose -- but for me it's about playing the game, not my cherished ladder win-loss ratio.

Personally, I find AAR's much more interesting -- seeing how players solve tactical problems on the battlefield, rather than reading about a theoretical magic formula of how to win at CM.

What would be more helpful than "which are the best units too buy", would be "How to get the best out of each weapon... how best to use it." Some of Jason's articles cover that too.

Different strokes, I guess.
