Flag Talk

[Der Kuenstler]

POS did a great job as usual of illustrating this post - thanks!

To add a little zest to your QBs, here are some flag ideas I've tried. Flags can change the tone and strategy of a vanilla meeting engagement significantly. A way to place flags in interesting places is by using imported maps from the net which I sometimes do. You can then set the values of the flags and place them where you want in the editor first.

For example, If you don't like the flag rush meeting engagement, try importing a map into your 3000 pt battle with maybe two or three 100 point flags in it - that way the flags are not as essential to victory. (The computer will not add flags or move flags on a map that is imported with existing flags.)

Or if you want a bloody slugfest, stack 1000 points worth of flags all on one rocky hill and try to be the last man standing on it.

You could also try a meeting engagement like this: import a long, fairly wide map and place the flags at the end of it. Then put both setup zones on one side in the editor (out of LOS of each other - the computer will not add setup zones of ones are already existing.) Now you must get to the flag by going parallel to each other and can harass each other on the way.

If you want no flags, import a map with one 100 point flag on it which is on an island 100 meters from all access. The computer will not add any more flags - voila - your score will be based on casualties alone.
