Kurtz Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 "..If I stay there'll be trouble..." If a scenario contains both Victory Flag(s) and an Exit Zone where I get points for exited troopas and vehicles, should I stay and defend the VF(s) or should I go over the edge and get exit points? The existence of both features seem a bit contrary to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiborhead Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 It depends on the situation. Give us some more details please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurtz Posted August 28, 2001 Author Share Posted August 28, 2001 The briefing told me to bypass any resistance and exit my troops, my thought was that this would suffice, there would be no need for both VF(s) and Exit Zones. If I exited all troops, I would have nothing left to defend the VF with. Luckily, my opponent surrendered, so I did not have to face this terrible dilemma!!!

Gen. Sosaboski Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 So, you needed to "run away!" according to the briefing, but you beat your opponent. Congratulations! This is what I like to do. Check out RussMz's scenario "Decision". It's funny with different forum characters running around in it and has a good battle (Play as the Allies and make it like Bastogne, like me ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StellarRat Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 I think you should buy an armadillo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 In CM, units marked with "should exit" SHOULD also exit - otherwise your enemy is going to get points for any unit that is not exited. This can very well offset any VL's you might hold at game end. Think about it - when a large flag is worth 300 points, that's the value of maybe two tanks only...
