Stuart Millis -> Timed Play. (3/1/2001 3:34:00 AM)

I wonder how many players use the timed play feature. I like to use this when I want some fast-paced action. Setting your turn time to 3 minutes can make a real difference to those troops that get forgotten as you battle elsewhere on the map.
I played the Scenario "A Simple Command" by Kevin Greer with a 3 minute setting. Oblivious to everything around me I frantically searched for the stealthy approach through bocage to the awaiting MG nests and bunkers.
Surprisingly, I managed a Decisive Victory losing only 12 men but destroying seven of the German bunkers by turn 13.
This with no armour and only 2 mortars. Very satisfying!
I might add that this map, by Bill Wilder, is one of my favorite maps for pbem play. I have paricularly enjoyed playing Poland versus Germany in 9/39, one time even managing a draw!
