Or if your german general has said "Ready to ambush" and hidden in a forest, when the battle starts you have no forest on the tile...). If heavily outnumbered and in a bad position, I use the holy red line. The engine artificially constrains my choices and puts me at disadvantage, so I redress the balance.
Of all the people here, you are a cheater as well...? You disappoint me sir... I wish I could lose, but I never get the opportunity. The campaign map is my favourite, and I spend hours on it to make sure all goes precisely by my specifications. If I lose in battle, then I am happy. BUT, if I were to lose the battle and lose an FM, that would be too much. You see, I am the cheater fellow who plays alex.exe just because you get the immortality.
