Proper protocol for intellegence gathering?

[James Ward]

I think looking over the reinforcment schedule is fair in the Campaign games. Unless you are very familiar with the battle you don't necessarily have a good grasp of the map, where the off map front lines are, forces recently reported in the area etc. You shouldn't have to act like the battle was fought in a vacuum. I do think you can go overboard with pre-battle recon though. A quick study before the game starts should be all you do.
