SCORING

[Ratel]

I can only speak for me, but this comment..

Once they see they are losing, they opt out because it doesn't matter how badly they lose, it's still 5 points in the bag.

...I just do not agree with.
I never give in...ever...I will fight you to my last man and the last turn...every time.
It ends up that my small victory to take away from a big ladder loss, is limiting your win as much as I can.
It's an honour thing

I have never surrendered a game of SP that I can remember.
Also, if you surrender, the opponent can take what ever level of victory they choose.
I will never allow that.

So I do not see that issue as one worth changing anything over.
Just my 2 cents.

I have surrendered a game that myself and Seahawk finished recently. I think some of you guys would have surrendered as well for a good reason. We played a map that was disliked by both of us because we didn't know beforehand that hedgerows would spoil the movement of our tanks and other vehicles as much as it did. The map was also too small to allow proper tactical maneuvering and to top it of I was playing the US in a battle against the Germans. I forgot to buy some planes during the setup and the best tanks I could get was no match against the Tigers/KoenigTigers/Panthers that Seahawk had. Due to the small size of the map and the location of the hedgerows, I couldn't outflank his forces and my tanks came second during any head-to-head gun duels.
The game turned into a stalemate as I didn't have forces left that would be able the wrestle the VH's from Seahawk, as we was holding them all at the end. It became a frustation to both of us and Seahawk was talking about what we would play next, that's how exciting the game was at that point So I offered to surrender, we negotiated a victory level for him and we are now playing another map that is much better.
And it is only for that reason that I believe that I and maybe any other guys would consider surrendering. No point in being stuck in a game that none of the players are enjoying, not even the winning player.:)
