Campaign System

[Mad Russian]

The campaign would, I think, work best if there are territorial objectives that win or lose the campaign on points.....like flags, but applied to the campaign. You could also rule that encircled troops are subject to heavy attrition every phase, giving a definite incentive to conduct envelopments even if it wasn't a formal objective as such.

This would soon put an end to retreating in the face of heavy odds....sure you could do that, but it would become a strategic decision to be measured against the loss of ground in front of a deep lying territorial objective. Sooner or later....and I think you'd find it was sooner....the defender would stand its ground and then the real fun would begin.

We have all that.

It does not put an end to retreating in the face of heavy odds. You going to sit and have your force destroyed when next turn you might be the one attacking at 5-1 odds? I didn't think so and neither is anyone else willing to do that either.

We played an entire round of this with those results and round 2 was shaping up to be another. You will get a battle that will be fought every so often but most of the time one side is so overwhelming that the battle is closed out as soon as possible.

At least that's what I've seen so far.

Good Hunting.
