Proper protocol for intellegence gathering?

[Marquo]

"Sorry Marquo, that has to be the gamiest manouever I have heard of in a while. Hiding in protected hexes then using them to break enemy units when they advanced."

This is absolutely not gamey. This is exactly why protection hexes exist - to protect a player from a gamey opponent who uses knowledge of the reinforcement schedule to slaughter otherwise defenseless units. Give me one other reason why an Axis opponent would send the entire Panzer Lehr south towards Luxemburg rather than west towards the Meuse? He was trying to destroy my reinforcements piecemeal and I would not let him. Why would I bring units onto the map piecemeal to be destroyed by a waiting Panzer Corps?

Now, my opponent knew exactly what he was doing, and I would not fall into the trap. He entrenched just outside the perimeter of protected hexes and waited like a spider. However, I too was patient, delayed bringing on my reinforcements so that if he did get too close, I would break him. And when I had enough delayed reinforcements stored up to make a fair fight of it, I brought them on all together.

I submit that not only is this not gamey, it is intelligent, wise and fair use of the rules of engagement. :)
