What's fair

[John Given]

Yes I think in theory putting armor on an exit hex is gamey when the enemy is about to reach it in force.

What would you propose that the person do? Surely a fighting withdrawl is acceptable. And if you are out of space, surely defending the exit hex is ok?

Well if it came to the point that the scn became unwinnable for me because the exit hex is reachable but blocked with wrecks and therefore it has become impossible to get points from them I would propose a victory. If the other side rejects, then sobeit and drop him as opponent.

I'm pretty much in agreement with all that - and I need to clarify that in scenarios I play that include exit hexes, I mention my "stacking of exit hexes" rule and have yet to have any dissenters. The important thing is that folks are not blocking exit hexes by filling up the hex(s) in question, with wrecks or what-have-you.

Now that the wreck removal option is in play for the matrix CS, much of this problem has gone away, fortunately. However, I still bring it up with my opponents containing exit hexes before a battle just to clarify.

The point about multiple exit hexes is a good one - that it makes it much more difficult to "cheesily" prevent an exit by stacking it with wrecks (or whatever). Of course, the implication that multiple exit hexes are necessary to prevent these kinds of tactics is in itself disturbing (to me anyway).

The main reason I mention all this in this thread is to let folks know that this is a tactic that someone might want to pull in a "cheap" attempt at a win, and that it seems to be the reverse of the "entry hex camping" that was mentioned earlier in the thread.
