look wich forces mine enemy has got - Maarten - 01-16-2010 is it good to look when i start a battle look what the enemies forces has got? RE: look wich forces mine enemy has got - Jim von Krieg - 01-16-2010 I see no problem in most circumstances. Only when you negotiate a blind play should the pre-look be off limits. Regards, Jim RE: look wich forces mine enemy has got - Maarten - 01-16-2010 Jim i've played about 29 games and always lost, so i find it acceptable to have a look, but now when i'm a better player. RE: look wich forces mine enemy has got - Jim von Krieg - 01-16-2010 You have the same opportunity as your opponent. Blind games are great, but as the game has been around more than 10 years most of the long time players have looked at a scenario just to see if it is worth playing. Many players play games they know are enjoyable OR games that they looked at to see if it might be enjoyable. I look at this way, in most circumstances, the battlefield commander will have intel as to what is in his area. I consider it your intel report when you start the game. It's the only thing you'll know about the battle at the start. However, it is only a snapshot in time that changes as the game goes along. As long as you communicate your intentions openly, you and your opponent can hash it out as to whether you look or don't look.

I don't care if my opponents look, but I never do. Takes a little of the fun out of it for me (mirrored games the exception of course). I enjoy total fog of war. Jim's right, though, when in doubt, just talk with your opponent. RE: look wich forces mine enemy has got - Montana Grizz - 01-16-2010 If I am playing a beginning player, I always suggest that they look at the scenario and observe the initial placement of forces and the type. Chances are, I have played the scenario and would otherwise have a beginning advantage. I like the "no lookie" games, but I'm running out of balanced scenario's to play :P Furthermore, I have noticed that many new players are unfamiliar with the strengths and weaknesses of the various units and often use the IVH like a PZ V. The IVH has some pretty good fire power, but not the armor and is a relative easy victim when facing the T34. I use to keep a chart of all Axis and Allied tanks telling me their approximate firing stength at 5+ hexes verses armor and infantry and their frontal armor factors. This really helped me in the beginning. Now, I realize that I am more of a Captain than a General and just play for fun :rolleyes: Pat RE: look wich forces mine enemy has got - Herr Straße Laufer - 01-17-2010 Heck, with some new players I tell them to play it against the AI before we start. :smoke: But, understand that the Human is certainly not the AI. ;) And, no plan ever survives first contact. :2guns:  Jim's right. After playing many scenarios many times. A grizzled vet knows when the grass needs cutting? It should be appropriate for the new guy to look over the landscape? :chin:   HSL RE: look wich forces mine enemy has got - Crossroads - 01-17-2010 (01-17-2010, 12:43 AM)Herr Straßen Läufer Wrote: After playing many scenarios many times.

RE: look wich forces mine enemy has got - Jim von Krieg - 01-17-2010 I don't think there is a right or wrong answer on this... Some like the uncertainty.. I can understand that... I consider it as looking at the layout of a chessboard at the beginning of the match... However, it is not mandated by any club rule... |
