I�played through 21 moves of Korsun this morning without using Attack Planning dialog (APD) ... none at all was it used.

This view should be used, for assigning attackers and support and checking the number of rounds used. Only the loss/odds predictor needs to be ignored.

I agree with Hank. I've been playing these games since the Avalon Hill days--pre-computers--and while I think there is great elegance to TOAW, the algorithms seem to have run amuck in the electronic versions. The response re Rommel was cavalier--HE certainly wasn't playing a game! But WE are.

Just seems to me that the real imbalance comes in playing against the PO...which, it seems to me, "cheats," with continuous running battles...the stars on the panel running down then miraculously jumping back up...doesn't seem fair, somehow...and really takes the fun out of the game.
