[WarInEur] RE: Anybody there?

[John Pace]

One of the problems with games in comparison with real life, us gamers have the advantage of experience and hindsight.  The fact we know what is going to happen affects our planning.  Similar situation on the Eastern Front in 1941, I remember the comment that you could tell an inexperienced WiE Soviet player from an experienced player by the fact the inexperienced Soviet deploys his units 3 hexes in front and the experienced player deploys 3 hexes behind (and runs like hell for Moscow).  In real May 1940, NOBODY expected the french to collapse in 7 weeks (including Hitler), everybody (except a few Modern thinking generals like Guderian and De Gaul) believed it would be a re-run of WW1, and deployed accordingly.
