Re: Anybody else make silly mistakes
 

I like sniper teams. I like to place two snipers in a single hex, but sometimes I click, and the sniper does anything to avoid buddying up with his fellow sniper. Into the road he goes, and I grumble under my breath waiting for the sign "marksman destroyed".

That can be a very valid tactic if used occasionally against a human opponent.

- He expects mines, so has expended points on engineers and plant
- He will be on constant tenterhooks as the game proceeds, trying to find your "cunning mine ambush" (tm) :)!
- You have meanwhile saved a few points to buy a few other toys

Alt-tactic - repeat that no-mines tactic a couple of times on the same human player. Then buy mines for real in battle 3 or so, and hopefully he will by now expect no mines and charge in...

If you are playing one of the these countries post 1999 or thereabouts: http://www.icbl.org/index.php/icbl/U...States-Parties, your ROEs will prohibit the use of mines.

I am so happy to see that Afghanistan destroyed the last of its mine stocks in 2002. Makes making those IEDs so much harder.......

We (Greece) still have them and I hope we don't give them up any day.
