Fair Play?

[McIvan]

Having foreknowledge of a scenario and covering off reinforcement hexes that, in reality, your forces would have no way of knowing about, seems a bit over the top to me. t is especially so to drop artillery on the hexes timed for the arrival of reinforcements.

But then again....what are you supposed to do? Pretend to ignore the fact that a bunch of enemy vehicles are about to arrive at a particular point and just let them savage your flanks? Have your artillery just standing around while a regiment of enemy turns up unannounced?

What I really think is that, after having looked at a scenario and seen that you will end up in that dilemma, you should decide that this is not a scenario that can be properly played with both sides having inspected it. Choose something else, I would recommend.

Some scenarios simply cannot be played anything other than "blind", and that's all there is to it.
