I remember my first PBEM battle. My opponent was a seasoned veteran of SP; but I had a lot of prior wargaming experience.

I set up a whole company of paras to land behind his lines on turn 7; by which time I figured he'd be committed to the front. I don't know who was more suprised, him or me, when at the end of turn 1 the planes came in and unloaded the whole company.

My paras spent the rest of the battle running around, hiding in the woods and causing chaos; as my main force attempted to reach them.

The battle was a lot of fun, and ended as a draw.
