Attack/Defend victory points

[Mike Abberton]

I would agree with Soldier that the flags make the difference.

Also, as long as you're not playing on a real small map, the defender is usually forced to spread out his defense (albeit with a mobile reserve ideally) or leave flags unguarded. Therefore, most attackers would at least plan to concentrate his force to achieve 2:1 or higher odds at the point of contact as opposed to the overall 1.5:1 of the overall QB. Hopefully, those kind of odds let you inflict more casualties than you sustain yourself. And if he leaves flags unguarded to tighten his defense, those are free points.
