Camp, there is nothing personal, but you, in effect, publicly say to me: "that will not fly." I try to show you why indeed it should fly based on the laws of physics (in this case, PG physics). You reiterate your objection. I finally say, put it (my design) to the test if you object. By the way, I only offered my set-up since some previous writers had expressed their appreciation that others had done so, not because I was expressing the view that my choice was definitive. I'm beginning to think that Beast013's approach is preferable.
I am constrained to point out that if you or anyone wishes to opine about another set-up, then you should likewise expect a vigorous defense. I notice neither Matt's nor Mike Murphy's set-ups, which were not concentrated totally around the crossroads (as far as I could tell), elicited any comment. You might simply have asked: "what would you do with your board 6 units in response to a mass German move due north along the road?" and not sound so pedant.
I should thank you, though, for reminding me of a couple of classical adages which I concede I am insufficiently virtuous to follow with due diligence.
I am not saying your defense "will not fly", those are your words. I am just providing a point that with the given VC's dispersing the units will make it harder to defend. I never said it would not work. As for Matt's, Mike's and others, if they have written them in their AAR's I have not read them yet, but will after my game is complete. I feel I can comment on this as you have posted the setup on the blog, I assumed that you are eliciting comments on the setup, I seem to overstepped your thoughts on this. Second, my comments on any setup would be from an opponents perspective saying "What would I do to attack/defend against this if playing FtF?". You are also free to counter this with other points, which I will expect or counter. If this is to direct, I am sorry.
