Maybe there should be a disclaimer

Yup, when i first read that section i nearly passed out, when i had recovered some and knowing deep down i would never understand it i decided to just play the game and pick it up as i went along, sure i have launched some terrible assaults but over time you just get a feel for what works and what does not, i know that does not help you now but we have all had to go through the same learning curve!

Glenn advice is sound, switch off the FOW and set up lots of different assault situations, play them over and over and soon you will see a pattern of results emerge, it sounds like you may have jumped into PBEM games a little too early before you had a reasonable idea of how the mechanics of assault work.

Good luck, keep practising and remember we have all been there........
