I thought it would be fun if each of you were to recall the best trap you ever spung on an opponent...you know, the kind you are really going to rub in on many occasion. Here is mine: I was playing CHANCE as the german. It was my first try at this scenario and my first PBEM game. Both myself and my opponent/brother had no previous knowledge of the setting and that makes it pretty enjoyable. Anyway, I was pretty appalled at quality of the troops I had under my command (conscripts???). However, there were two veteran squads and a first class HQ. Those two squads and their HQ alone were to hold the church while the rest would set up in the hill on the right flank. They held their ground pretty well under heavy fire but I knew this couldn't last forever. So I set a trap. I ordered them to pause 45 sec and then to start crawling awsay. To my opponent, it looked as if both squad had broken and he sent an entire company to storm the church. At the start of the turn, I asked my veterans to turn around and start spraying which they promptly did...after all, they were veterans. Of the 40 amis that stormed the church, 2 made it back to their lines. My losses <4 men 8-). That game is still ongoing but I think I have the initiative now. Entilzha
