RE: Truck Points Value
I think there are a couple of issues worth considering re the rise in truck values
Intuitively, we might well classify a 1/2T as more valuable than a truck, and not unreasonably so...1/2Ts give better protection to their contents, are typically armed with a MMG, and have better x-country capability. To me this points to a higher value for the 1/2T than the truck.
You said above you plan to adjust all existing stock scenarios...This is no small task, noting the majority of stock scens predate JTCS, and have, presumably, been through a testing regime based in part on one truck one point
I said above "The rationale of preventing misuse is fine" On reflection, I withdraw from this. Players are responsible for their own behaviour. It does seem from this thread that player behaviour was an important factor in this decision. If so, that is a sad reflection on the Blitzkreig Gaming Club...that good simulation is sacrificed to try and prevent some PERCEIVED "gamey" behaviour, by a small minority. And while the baby is being thrown out with the bathwater, consider this. A good number of CS scens feature the Exit hex, which in my experience can call for many tricky decisions, giving a most rewarding game. No longer...why weigh the pros and cons of loading a truck when you can exit it empty, and get 3VP a pop?
If the only reason for upping the VPs of trucks is to guard the ethics of our members.............demeaning, insulting, are a couple of words that, sadly, come to mind.
