Why am i asking myself questions and not concentrating on the game? Serious answer: Where am I on "the clock"? If I am attacking, am I behind a turn or worse, two. If defending, do I have where I thought I would have him at this point, or is he ahead of schedule or behind?

It is worth noting that just knowing the answer to that question is not enough. Once you have that question answered to the best of your ability, the important question is what am I going to do about it?

Curious to know what veterans consider.
A couple broad brushstrokes...

Do I need to reposition my leaders somewhere?
Is now the right time to assemble my DM equipment in my next turn?
Am I pushing along the weak front or did I just walk into the killzone?
Are my brokies needed to win, or should I leave them behind?
At this pace, can I achieve the VC?

That's how I evaluate my position at the end of a turn and think about how to approach the next turn.

  1. Have I correctly understood the mission (e.g. the VC aims)?
  2. Am I taking the best course of action(s) to accomplish that objective (i.e. am I correctly attempting to pursue my intent on how to attain mission accomplishment)?
  3. Time wise am I on track for successful mission accomplishment and if not how do I address or redress that situation?
  • Is it necessary to alter the overall concept of the plan?
  • Is it necessary to shift forces/assets?
  • Are there mitigating circumstances that could significantly impact upon successful mission accomplishment (e.g. reinforcements, air-power, OBA, weather conditions, etc)?
  • How did I get myself into this mess and how do I get out of it?
