Again, thanks to both of you for the replies. I am not being a super nerd here (although I did enjoy, like Jaw used to I suspect, wading through the Squad Leader rules when I wasn't able to actually play the game !!) - what I want to know is this: Once I have learned how to play the basic mechanics of the game, am I going to be able to 'read' the likelihood of success, and importantly the likely relative cost of a battle, by looking at the units and the type of combat elements within those units, then examining the terrain, the weather and other factors, and by considering what is known about the enemy? I don't need to know all the 'under the bonnet' calculations to do this, nor would I be able to understand half of it, I'm sure, but I do need to know something of how it all works together in order to husband my troops and equipment and use the best combination of kit for the best job. If this is driving you mad or boring you into submission, I apologise in advance, but now I know something of the strategy from the excellent AAR's, I want to know more about the battle tactics, especially for the tricky and high risk battles, sieges, major river crossings etc. Thanks for your patience Stuart
