What's a Greenhorn General to do?

[Ricky B]

Personally, I open up a standard game, rather than PBEM, both sides under human control. Click on the jump map and see where the various colored spots are and shut it down - and I don't do this in a small scenario, as that would give fairly specific information on enemy deployments or at least reserves - usually on big campaigns or quite large battles, which are most of what I play, so I know there is a big blob of red units on my left front type of thing.
