Title: Deployment
Post by: Blathergut on October 28, 2007, 02:30:22 PM

Can someone explain just what this means?  I assume 0-3-1 means no command on left flank, 3 command rectangles in the centre, one in front of the other, and one command on right flank?

>>I look forward to DBMM discussions of the relative merits of the 1-2-1 formation against the 0-3-1 and 2-1-1 formations.

Interesting question.

How you Brits interpret that?  ;D We just draw the rectangles on a paper including all significative terrain features. This is the best way to avoid cheating. Do you draw them too or just write it down?

Thank you
