Marquo, please go ahead and send me the turn you got, and I will take a look more closely. Playing with FOW off, I can definitely trap the 2 central tank divisions on turn 1, but some of the German units are stuck in T mode and thus very vulnerable as DS mentioned above. So I was able to break one of the units and open up an escape route for at least some of those units. I am not sure what other groups are trapped, some of the units to the north could be but I couldn't see how to trap them all, and the forces to the south are weak anyway and not much of a loss.

I would say that having someone play that way, obviously knowing where to move to get everything trapped, would turn me off a bit, and I believe I played someone that did exactly that many years ago. I played it out, and freed most of the units - the forces lost are not critical in the long term anyway, just a lot of VPs to lose on turn 1. I think the same player also bombed a bunch of rear area T mode units after spotting with recon - we may have actually quit the game, as I don't remember this one going any further.
