Competitive VP calculating

[DavidFields]

For you competitive types:

Do you analyze scenarios to see if they are relatively Flag-poor (the winner will be decided by losses) or Flag-rich (won't win if you don't get the flags)? Do you calculate if taking a flag will be "worth" it ("The designer may say such-and-such hill is important, but for the tanks I would lose to take it, I would be better off going another direction...")

Do you keep a running mental count of what the "true" VP situation is likelyto be, adjusting the one you see on the screen by what you think is likely occuring with those "?" flags?

Or do you just play your stongest tactics, and let the results fall where they may?

I analyze and keep analyzing in view of the victory percentages. Having said that, in attack I don't just sit the troops on their backsides once I'm at a minor victory (unless I'm going temporarily on the defensive because I think the opponent is going to counterattack somewhere). I keep attacking. I suspect from that point on I take it more cautiously, however.
