How much of a scenario do you ought to know (when you start playing it)?

Interesting question Mowgli! I don't consider it cheating, but I've never discussed it with an opponent (or been asked not to) and have always assumed my opponent did the same? Many of us have played some scenarios (the good ones) multiple times, so I don't think it's an earth-shattering change to the play balance?

Personally, if I am playing a scenario for the first time, I will usually look at initial dispositions so that I understand what's there, or what's coming, especially if it's a shorter scenario since time will be of the essence, either thru speed if I'm attacking or delay if I'm defending. In my experience, much of it will change after the first turn anyway!

Since we have played (and are currently) I guess we will have to clarify for the future my friend!
