My main difficulty with BtB is with figuring out how to do basic things effectively, like maintaining an advancing continuous front, within the game system. Well, you can't. You will have to pause every once in a while to bring up forces from the rear. This concept is a bit difficult for traditional wargamers to warm up to since they are used to games where you move every unit its maximum movement rate every single turn,however, it is more historically accurate with respect to fighting on the Eastern front. I'm willing to accept that, but just to clarify, I was thinking more along the lines of I want to advance my front (or possibly retreat it) without leaving gaping holes in my lines . Perhaps I'm just too paranoid about that sort of thing, after having played several years with gamers who couldn't resist sending a small unit or two through any hole you left, just to force you to stop your advance and deal with it.
