RE: Tips from the Frontline
More Tips from the Frontline
Introduction
This second quick battle with PoorOldSpike [POS] is a 2000 point meeting engagement on a medium map in 1944. I have decided to keep it with the first “Tips from the Frontline” because the intent is the same, the style is similar and the material adds to the original AAR.
There are fewer basic questions as I know a little more; so now the battle takes on more of a more chess like nature with move and countermove. However, as a reasonable chess player myself, it is considerably harder than chess because:
a) You have limited or no information about the opposing force
b) You are operating in the fog of war and so can be surprised by the sudden appearance of enemy forces
c) The tactical manoeuvres [moves] than can be made by the forces are more varied and complex than chess pieces
d) There are many more options for combined arms and then coordinating that force
As before, POS’s comments will be quoted in a different colour.
