Strategy Guide?

I second Marvin's comment, thank you for the tactical advice!  I picked up Eastern Front a few weeks ago and have been puttering around with some of those scenarios.  I also ordered a copy of the PG starter kit from AP a few weeks ago - just got notice they were shipping, that took a while...  Anyhow really having fun learning this system and how it models combat at the platoon level.  It's interesting to compare the differences between different WWII tactical systems.  I really like the PG system - fairly straight forward  and relatively short set of rules that seem to realistically capture movement, combined arms combat and C2.  The ability to have a few battalions face off on just a couple of boards and play quickly yet still be at the platoon/squadron level from the standpoint of tactics for combined arms is really cool in my book.  Try to have the same size units (battalions) with ASL and you'd have a table sized map with a few hundred counters on the board - difficult to manage.  Really looking forward to playing around with the system more.  The alternate rules for PG 4th Ed look interesting and will be looking at those a bit closer once I'm familiar with the standard set.
