Definition of a mirror game? - Kelen - 06-19-2006 Can someone please clarify something for me. What exactly is a 'mirror game'? I recently agreed to my first ever 'mirror' game, only my understanding of what they were appears to have been incorrect. I assumed a mirror game was exactly that, that is one map 2 games, one you play Allies, one Axis. Whilst I am indeed playing 2 games, (1 Allied, 1 Axis), they are using different maps, and in both I'm attacking and my opponent defending. Whilst I don't necessarily mind that, I would like to know for future reference so that If I invite, or am invited to play any more, both my opponent and I know what to expect; or if both options are valid that I need to be clear and what the exact arrangement is. RE: Definition of a mirror game? - raz_atoth - 06-19-2006 Your understanding of what mirror games is correct.There is one map,two games(one with the allies,the other with axis) and the same parameters.So,if-in one game you attack with the allies,in the other one you'll be defending with the axis.Also,the other parameters must be the same for a game to be considered mirrored.A game with the above settings-where you must attack-for example- in 20 turns,but your opponent has 40- turns to do it,is not considered-from mu knowledge-mirrored.Same thing with the other settings.
