Just finished playing a CMAK mission, called "2 pounders and tigers" where I lost a tiger to a British HQ tossing grenades :mad:

I don't so much have a problem of remembering the orders I've issued to units, as much as I usually forget about some key members such as Fo's (Forward Observers) Colt that's a good idea I'm going to have to give that a shot. I think a drop down menu would be a good idea that way I could find all of my malingerers, at a glance.

Thanks for all the good advice. I think in future engagements, I'll use wedge formations and move to contact, or hunt orders for my vehicles. It's always good to learn from the experience of others.

I've been playing CM off and on now for a few months and have been learning my lessons the hard way, usually with alot of casualties, and a less than stellar After Action Report. In my latest engagement I lost 4 armored cars in one turn to well placed AT guns. As I looked at the wreckage, it dawned on me that maybe this could have been prevented with a good look over the area before rushing in. My question is this, do most gamers use reconaisance as part of thier pre-attack planning or are they like me, and just rush right in?
