RE: Alternative Solo Hidden Units method
Fred, I played Collision Course solo. I hid the 6 pdr and the Sherman. The gun survived without taking a shot and the Sherman eventually moved forward to support the attack.
I think hiding the gun made sense because it forces the Germans to move very close before they can discover and bombard it. The Sherman I hid because something else needed to be hidden and I knew the foot units would move forward right away.
John's love of hidden units is as bewildering to me as Jay's aversion to them. From my perspective, hidden units shine in two specific case when playing face-to-face: (1) search and destroy missions in which an overwhelming force must find a smaller force and destroy it and (2) a larger force must take terrain on a tight timeline against a force maybe half as strong.
