Well, my second ever PBEM turn of TOAW ... it took me over an hour (!!) to do. In spite of this being a rather smallish scenario, I am given to understand. At the moment I am feeling simply overwhelmed by the many unit counters and the masses of options available for each single one of them. I have played Panzer Campaigns and there you can either move and/or shoot or else dig instead, but that's about it ... and there is only a single turn per turn. I have read a good number of articles on the concept of getting several phases out of a single turn, but in practice it still escapes me. On T1 I managed but one phase. Now on T2 I did get two, but that seems my limit. And it seems I can't grasp the combat results. On one occasion, I pushed all enemy counters out of a town, but instead of seeing my own boys move into it, another enemy unit walked back into the just vacated city! And btw why can units retreat through ZOC's after a lost melee? :rolleyes:
A lot to learn. And now I just got back my opponent's turn within 15 minutes from sending it--the same turn that took me an our to do.
