A thought re: game reporting

[mcwkjoyce]

I think these are great ideas. I haven't been at theblitz that long, but I have already had one player disappear on me about halfway through a game. (I was winning as the Germans in an early war scenario but saw some a couple of KV1s appear on the horizon.) I still would have won, but it was very hard to tell what the level of victory would be. I claimed a forfeit and a total victory. I am currently in another game and I haven't had a turn from my partner in more than two months and I am losing. I would feel a little strange claiming a total victory, but then again the opposite commander has disappeared from the battlefield.

TheCoil's idea of an asterisk is good, or if we want to get complicated we could implement some sort of weighed scale for how many turns you have actually completed of the scenario or operation. For example, if your playing partner disappears if the first battle of a six-battle operation maybe you could claim a minor victory, but he should get no points at all. This could be very difficult to apply in practice. I do like the idea of a forfeit as there should be no way he should get any points for disappearing.
