One day, I hope to truly get the hang of C&C. When I haven't played it for a while, combined arms rule put aside, I always fall into the trap of 'compulsion'. I see my hand of cards rather than the tactical situation and try to convert my tactical situation into one that suits my cards. The more I play the game the more I see this to be self evident but I always fall into the same old mind set when I haven't played for a while - my glass always looks half full when I start.<br /><br />Hand building is easier said than done. The risk of it, keeping one's nerve whilst doing so, goes against all of my war game instincts. I feel sure it is the way to be successful in these games - certainly, after playing a few on the trot they get much more cagey.JAMES ROACHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04019888286247164276noreply@blogger.com
