Have you ever noticed how some players seem to have way too many bodies in their deployment areas?

:)))

I doubt my favorite "fat cat" could do this, let alone fit too well into that size of a box to start with (still, she's all mine)!

Some players….? I deliberately design scenarios with traffic problems in mind. Coordinating unit movements to avoid or minimize traffic jams is a legitimate concern of generalship.

Ah, yes – the problem jamming too much lead into too little space

I never understood the importance of roads and deployment until I played the first day of Gettysburg, as the Union.

I made such a mess of it that the battle was over by sunset.

In a recent battle I lost 40% of my command and all my artillery because I had deployed for an attack…then found that the Austrians were in my rear and flank and I couldn't get off the table on the only road!

Is that a reverse spearhead move?

My scenarios allow traffic jams.
The players cause them.

Indeed — in my last game half the British Army was bottled up on an entry road for many turns, unable to advance towards the objective — but since I was the Afghans this made me smile!

Two words: template weapons.
