New to Panzer Campaigns, have many questions... Let's start with HQ's

[Outlaw Josey Wales]

Interesting.  I'd like to hear how/why capturing an opponents HQ is gamey?  Seemed smart to me but then i am just a HS grad.  I certainly dont wont to come across as a gamey player.

Well, a game can only simulate so much. If keeping an HQ isolated is more advantageous than killing it, it still qualifies as a smart move IMO.

That can also be viewed as advantageous to the enemy because you have to use units to keep him isolated.  It worked in WW@ in the Pacific bypassing some islands.  But, we had control of the air and sea.
