How do you go to battle?

Narwan, that's why I never played a quick jump battles (less than 15 turns); the whole plan I've conceived with pain will be wasted away on a quick mettle test!
I agree with you that forces should be bought depending on the overall plan. I learned that by trial and error; purchase the forces first then go for the plan later, soon I found that my forces isn't sufficient to cover the best plan...

Now, one thing I'm curious about: do you all also need to draw a battlefield plan on a paper (if playing multiple PBeM games, maybe, so that you don't forget the plan you drafted)????

PS: Those SP docs provided by Weasel (esp. the CGSG books) are truly a "helping hand" for me to decide military plans easier!
