Coil whups CT, a memoir in advance (Colonels Keep Out!)

[Colonel Talvela]

I just sent my last orders file, so I figured I could come in here and take a looksie. The first thing I notice is the 42/55 % for me and that is with me minus a flag. That is some what comforting because mine said 51/49 me. It is going to be very close to a draw if not a draw.

Thinking back on the game, your one platoon on the very back of the map on the right probably was the difference between being close and being routed. When I noticed that you didnt have troops on the right flags, I rushed forward assuming you had not defended that side at all. As you mention above, that caused me to pull two platoons out of my main thrust and take care of that platoon. they dont reach the main fight until turn 34 & 35. And unfortunaty, I had already gotten my other platoons engaged in a fight with your main line, and I couldnt go back.

I had to be very careful with my Priests once I realized you had the battalion with 7 guns. Basically that neutralized them the whole game and I had to pretty much fight with inf only. That is originally what I wanted to do - but only against one or two companies and a couple of stugs - rather than against a full regular inf battalion.
