The thing about coming into a game with a plan already in place is that you are ignoring what is going on in the game. Depending on turn order, which things come out in which order, what your opponents have taken, what they have left you with, etc. the plan you came in with isn't necessarily the best plan for the situation. You should look at what is going on and choose the best plan. Don't choose a plan and try to force the situation to fit what you want to do.

Actually, I tend to think of LH loans in wargaming terms: they're the reserves. We commit them when we need to, but we don't throw them into battle willy-nilly.
