Thanks for your comments chaps.
C&G is a unique system and creates a game that should be played at least once by any wargamer to appreciate what they are missing with the more traditional approaches to games.
Yes it was a hard day at the office for the French but the disguised set up by David was an intriguing way to play out the ‘What ifs’ he identified, and by keeping all involved in the dark about his changes to the orders of battle stopped any benefits of historical hindsight and produced lots of surprises, especially for me who at least had an inkling of what to expect from C&G.
Cheers
