understanding Command and Supply

[Mr Grumpy]

  in most scenarios I dont worry to much about fatigue-unless it gets really high...175+ then ill pull them out of the line. I would say I only pay attention to fatigue really hard is if the scenario covers 3 or more days. Had no idea that fixed units could dig in.....



Mr Grumpy-youve always been a source of good advice and I do try and pay attention to when you give advice and answer questions. I tend to be real gun shy about playing people I dont know. its a psychological thing. no reason to it...but i find it real hard to play people blind over the net.. But good advice regardless of my trepidation.

In small scenarios you can ignore fatigue levels to some extent, although I have failed to win a number of smaller games because in the last couple of turns I didn't have enough fresh troops to take that vital VP hex by assault. In larger scenarios fatigue management is a game within a game and failure to keep levels below 150 and rotate units in and out of the front line can have more effect on the final result than the tactics used, I see lots of players ignoring the night fatigue effects and driving their forces 24/7 until they are totally combat ineffective, after all these years I still feel the desire to push on and on even though i know it is the wrong thing to do!

Obviously you need to play with whoever you feel comfortable with, but my experience was that I had to play multiple opponents to see all the clever tactics that the devious human mind can devise when playing complex games such as these, I found it a fascinating journey and the learning curve very enjoyable.
