Etiquette

Have to agree with Al on this one. For bigger games, look all you want, because in about 5 turns it is meaningless.

For smaller scenarios, I can see where a little intel might help you out, but in most cases (at least with long time players) they have likely played both sides several times and already have an idea of disposition and strategy to win a smaller game.

For instance, I had two games of M41 going at once with two separate players. They both chose the same scenario and left me on both sides (at their choice as well). So I knew where and how the Germans would likely attack and knew where and how the Russians would defend by mere happenstance. This is probably not unusual.
