Lacky Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 The current victory flag (points) method might be bettered to prevent, "Last turn rush." Some of my battles end on a sour note with my opponent charging a victory flag near the end of the game. They generally don't want to control the flag, just put enough units near/around the flag to make it disputed. Is this gamey? Nevertheless, the last few turns of a game sometimes determine the outcome of an entire 30+ minute battle. Here's an idea I propose for CM2! Cumulative VP's: Very similar to the current all or nothing method, except the victory points are awarded to the controlling player on a per turn basis. Single side VP's: One side is granted VP's for controlling a specific flag, not both sides. I would like to see conclusive closure. Far too many games "end" when things start getting good! Being able to play after the game ends is NOT what I want. This will inevitably draw out games and make scenario's near-impossible to balance.

109 Gustav Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 Well, you can have just one flag count. The defender won't know which one it is, but the attacker will. It can make life a little more interesting for both sides. As for flag rushes, IMHO, if you can't prevent a rush, you didn't really have control over the flag in the first place. I do agree that it is bad sportsmanship to rush flags on the last turn, though. ------------------ Well my skiff's a twenty dollar boat, And I hope to God she stays afloat.
