Gamey?

[Copper]

Hell if I read the opponents briefing it would just spoil it for me... the joys of playing it blind is that you are always on edge never knowing what is coming next... if I read the brief and it says 10 PzIV's reinforcement on turn 10 it takes away a huge slice of what is fun about this game.... the anticipation of what may happen next.

Unfortunately, not all people operate on this level. I agree, the briefing doesn't have to spell it out for you, but give you historically and tactically relevant information that you should know going into a battle. Surprises are the best part of a blind scenario, but these surprises become an advantage when there is no surprise at all for one opponent due to his curious nature.

I thus refer back to the "trusted" players comment, where history has built up a relationship of comfort that allows for exactly the type of gameplay that you are describing.

Cheers!
