That's how we play, but I chiefly play with non-gamers. For inexperienced players, I found it useful to play in teams since there's a lot of card interpretation and non-gamers are not acquainted with the weird legalese required to read and interpret Battle Cry and Memoir '44 rules and cards without outside help.


Having someone with whom you can talk through the ramifications of the cards helps reduce misplays and errors. For experienced players, I can't really say, but I would guess they would prefer to keep their strategic secrets to themselves.
