Defense

[Bruceov]

When playing defense I often see the attacker start with 10 0r 12 points. Where do these points come from? Does the attacker get points if the defender does not occupy victory locations.

bruce, as the defender, if you don't have units next to all the flags, there may be one "tied" (with the ?-mark), thus giving the attacker 10-12 points.

I may be wrong, but as far as I know neutral VL don´t count at all.

The result composes of the relation of the points for each side´s losses plus the VL points under control of each side.

The AAR of CMBB is very comfortable in that way, as it shows exactly who got how many points for what.

Bruceov, might it be that you split squads when you defend? If you do, the attacker will get points for half of them until they join again as the engine counts the second team as dead (IIRC one of the patches prevents that for the final result, but not in the running game).

The other possibility I can think of is when you play with casualties on, but I´m not exactly sure whether that really counts from the beginning.

I don't think so. I've played with casualties at start many times and never seen this.
