I'm expecting Vince to use this setup when we do get to play.
Overall, though, I agree with his general assessment. A flexible defense seems to make more sense instead of a thin line.
OTOH, I find your French approach interesting...why not take advantage of cover? You don't have to take your objectives by turn 5. Advancing in a more cautious manner to avoid some of the step losses Vince mentions could be the difference between winning and losing.
Vince - My schedule is mostly insane for the next 2 months between a family visit, CSW Expo, going to the VPG offices for a week and WBC, and hopefully we can sneak in a play of this. Even if you want to start it PbEM, we may make good progress because I can allocate 5-10 minutes at a time instead of several hours!
