...as long as it's done with specific and desired conditions...
If you want specific conditions, why not use a scenario which is specific in almost every aspect? A QB is just that, a "quick" battle, not "meticulously tailored exactly to what you want" battle. It's almost on par to complaining that the tree placement and hill sloping is all wrong. Just as you can say that one might decide not to fight on damp ground, why not say you choose not to fight where the trees aren't to your liking as well?
Maybe it's just an "out from left field" inference on my part (and no, I ain't no expert), but aren't "good" players the ones who can make due with the given situation and forces?
Also, I don't think good players whine so much
Anyway, it's not like you've already lost the battle. I mean, wow, isn't it a bit defeatist to admit defeat during set-up? (hey, I've griped before after seeing a map, but one deals with it) Or do you expect to lose and you're just getting the excuse ready?
