Speed in Meeting Engagements

[McIvan]

Thats why you put only a few troops on the actual objectives, and the rest on terrain nearby that covers the approaches to the objectives. Meanwhile, you use YOUR artillery to wipe out enemy forming up for the assault that they're planning to do under cover of THEIR artillery. And if you don't have any such artillery, well, presumably you spent your points wisely on something else that can be put to good use.

It's always better to have the flags.
