Do you have a tactical blindspot when wargaming (either one historical period, or consistently) that you can't seem to rectify? It tends to cost you victory.

WW2 bridge assault – artillery battery, never sustained, always too hurried, leaves numerous defenders still defending!

You?

Now, if I post that answer here, my game group would use it against me. 😜

What they already know is that I tend to rush in before I have all my troops on the line. Sometimes it works, but most of the time it does not. But at least the game moves right along.

I've made errors … but don't feel I have a blind spot. However I still had won and lost record at about 60/40% … frown

I'm usually pretty crap about spreading my troops out too far, resulting in them fighting piecemeal.

I've been trying to get better about it though.

Mine is rolling too many 1s

Cavalry. I can't command cavalry worth beans. It's become a running joke within our little gaming group.

Mine is following any given plan on the assumption of success, and an inability to reorganize what is left of my forces after those assumptions prove false. Every. Single. Time.

How would I know?

I think that's one of Rumsfeld's unknown, unknowns.

"A" tactical blindspot? I wish.

A tactical blindspot ?? OF COURSE !

Ottoathome11 Sep 2016 3:23 p.m. PST

no

wrgmr111 Sep 2016 7:46 p.m. PST

Way too many 1's.

I would hope that if you know what it is you correct it .
and if you think you don't -you most likely do have at least one and just can't recognize it(or accept the fact )

It also depends on your opponents being astute enough to see it and be able to exploit it .

A bit like figuring out a pitchers tell signs for his pick-off move. most have one -its just figuring it out and taking advantage of it

Fools rush in…

When I don't stop to think first that is me, at least partly because the "enemy" just won't cooperate with my plan.
