Happens to most of us too. This is a reasonable active site but it has it's limits.
Consider how, right now, 90% of the forumites are crowding the WitE2 forum, trying to be the first to explain how the ammo allotted to a specific company of 12 Ferdinands on Oct, 19th 1943 is 10% off. [>:]

I'm seriously laughing here! [:D]
Thanks man! Maybe I should check on that forum some time.
You know what they say, don't you? About how us MechWarriors are the modern knights, how warfare has become civilized now that we have to abide by conventions and rules of war. Don't believe it.

While stationed in Germany I once played a game of Blitzkrieg with a friend that went literally down to the last two units. We deployed all the land units including rangers or whatever they called them and played that way without air or navy or reinforcements of any kind. Eventually the front lines dissolved and it became a series of isolated battles until we each were down to one ranger unit. It could have ended in mutual elimination, but instead I got the lucky roll and won the game.

Many years ago, in a time before the internet, l linked up with a guy in Pennsylvania for slow PBM games. Those of you old enough will remember noting the hex number your pieces were on, where you were moving to, and rolling for combat results, then posting your letter. A lot of honesty and trust was required by both players. Our games would go back and forward for months (I live in Australia) but he would often query some of my positions of pieces. It was a great joke by one of my wife's girlfriends to secretly change where pieces were on the map. Maybe she was a closet gamer at heart.
