I am the same way.

Same here; I have replayed some scenarios up to 5 times to experience the effects of various setups. And I still struggle playing the defending side.
I once posted pictures of my setup and wrote whether they were effective. No time to continue this practice unfortunately.

Assault Table (although I have my "issues" with the lower cols even with the 3rd). I have a very different opinion in that regard from, say, Matt and Daniel who, I think - if I may put words in their mouths based on recollection of previous posts - prefer the newer version.
I do indeed much prefer the 4th edition Assault Table. Definitely harder to plan the perfect attacking stacks due to the increased variability at low odds.
