Rite of Passage... Crimea

Argueably, the single biggest difference to otherwise similar wargames is the "ZOCs do NOT extend across front lines" rule.
As such, acheiving a brilliant victory in the Crimea scenario, perhaps almost inadvertantly (see devs comments in the Cremea thread-
viewtopic.php?f=40&t=437), has become a sort of "crossing of the equator" mentally to learning a new style of play.
Since UoC also has an excellent replay feature , I've attached my game to demonstrate that it can be done. Incidently, I suspect this replay feature could be used frequently in the future as an alternative to just screen shots to illustrate commentary.
I strongly encourage new players to hang in there with replaying Crimea until the "not your father's" ZOC rule is second nature.
Spoiler Alert: Duh! don't download and replay if you want to figure it out on you own....
