My approach is definately different.
I only assume that my opponents will do all that is within their power to gain any kind of edge in a game against me, whithout, of course, actually cheating. ie. replaying turns for best results, changing game files, etc...
Under this assumption I do everything possible that I can to better prepare myself for the battle, or should I say game. And it is under these circumstances that I will review a scenario, read up on the actual historical accounts, you name it, I will prepare my self the best way possible for a new game. My goal is to win the game. I get enjoyment out of winning! I am often surprised how battles actually do unfold with the all hindsight we have of these battles.
I have thought the way General Wilkes has, and I have even tried not reviewing replays at one point to enhance FoW, but the game was less fun, for me.

So I check out the startup and reinforcement schedules first and then let the mop flop. I used to play with total ignorance of the opposing side until I found out my opponents were not so humble. Replays are a must unless fighting in the woods.
