[ASLML] J86: what do you think?

[Brian Roundhill]

I also think this is very favourable for the British. Played this with 
Carl, and with one more turn, maybe he could have won. Our game was a 
little atypical perhaps - he had 4 MA malfunction during the game, I had 
1 OBA mission because of constant loss of radio contact. My basic 
gameplan was concentrate on the infantry, because like .Roy said, the 
Panthers can't take buildings.

I'd like to play this against some of the better players and see what 
they do with the Germans, and there is some finesse required by the 
British in trying to preserve the Fireflys. One big question is still 
what do you do with the first turn OBA? Go after the vehicles? Go after 
the point of attack? Go after the victory hex since 3 of 5 British 
leaders are huddled up in there?
