Andreas,

Did you get 5 squads off the board?

Did that keep the German player from moving in Q2. I would risk one stack in Q2 with that shot, but not two stacks.

Then what did you do? Did you set up a defensive position or did you try to exit the board with them?

I think there is too much risk in placing three squads in J4. You could get all three broken in one shot.

Easier said than done. Which route did you take, behind the H1 woods or up the road? Or a mixture of the two?

It seems that having the leader near the J4 or H1 woods to rally broken squads would be a more effective use of the leader. But you might find it more useful to rally your Row N/O squads with the leader instead.
