I sometimes get over-prepared, buying units for every contingency imaginable and then find myself slightly under-equipped for every one. Also, I tend to spend too much time on my infantry, setting up beautiful by-the-book positions and careful assaults. When I'm done with three or four rifle companies I just want to get to the next turn and casually move around my armour in simple wedge formations... :rolleyes:

[/B][/QUOTE] Isn't that what scouts are for? ;) I have a nasty habit of either forgetting about using arty completely or ending up walking into my own fire mission :eek: Still not too bad for a newbie, we all learn from our mistakes

Not keeping a rear-guard platoon to deal with possible infiltrators. Not leaving a force in reserve. Advancing my support too quickly. Loading AAA in their transports and not unloading 'em at end of movement. Using non-SP AA. Advancing before poping smoke in front of the tigers/HMG's. Advancing to close range of good anti-armour and infantry instead of retreating after being smoked. Uh, guess that's not knowing when to give ground. know thy weaknesses is 1/2 of fixing 'em, I hope. :D

Hell, I AM buying SPAA if possible lately. So I'm almost the perfect tactician by now. :D Why is tactics so much more fun while I'm better at strategy?

1. When I lose a favorite unit - like a Tiger that has 90+ experience. The unit that got him MUST DIE - sometimes it costs me more that the original unit. 2. Over extending my Paras. Almost every battle is a little "A Bridge too Far". I put them out there and try to get to them before they get wiped out. Lots of fun - but I don't always make it. 3. Waiting while on the defense. Once I had my Engineers cut a path through my own mine field because I got tired of waiting.
