Rabbit Wrote:Good point! I should have noted that I have played the scenario once before, which greatly impressed upon me how very short the scenario is and how challenging it is for the Germans to get very far. And that definitely factored into my overall strategy.

It only costs 3 movement points to get up from Ground Mode, which is the cost of moving a single roadway hex, so it usually is worth giving up those 3 movement points for the extra safety provided by Ground Mode. And the importance of not "stacking" your troops cannot be emphasized enough to new players.

By the way, I definitely welcome and encourage further critiques/discussions, as it would certainly be helpful to new players to hear other viewpoints and advice. Plus I certainly don’t mind free advice on ways to improve my own game. : )
