That's the attitude I was looking for when I joined up. I hope it is representative of the whole. "The game allows it to happen, so it must be realistic" is an argument I would expect to hear from Magic: The Gathering players, not people like us. I played online games briefly many years back and was so soured by the 'trample the history/backstory, just do whatever implausible thing it takes to win' approach that I didn't attempt it again until now. [ie, Steel Panthers quick battles where I purchased a historical infantry bn and a platoon of 37mm PaK and my opponent bought nothing but artillery, engineers, and Matilda heavy tanks that I could not hurt. He called himself a 'better player' for this antic, for 'identifying the best units in the army list'. Yeah, about that.] Anyway, my gaming schedule just cleared right up so I'm up for another if you're willing to give it a go. Have kinda got tired of defending against overwhelming odds so I wouldn't mind being the attacker for once, if that's cool. Still new, so a shorter one might be better.
