RE: Debate: set up or not???
Bidermann (FGM) hit the nail on the head... When designing, if you have any inkling of the scenario being played against the AI then you should position the forces... Cause on a 'free to be placed' AI setting, 99 out of 100 the AI does a crap job...

When playing, I like to see the forces placed, but not locked (unless a specified reason and its stated in the briefing)... There has been many a time when I am (+)ing thru my forces to see what I got and then noticed some nice terrain feature (usually elevation or a los/lof) I might have missed if the forces were put in company/platoon order... Plus it provides insight to what the designer is thinking (or in my case - not thinking :conf: )

That is all...
