RE: The Advantage Slide
I wasn't really concerned about cheating when I brought this subject up. 99% of my losses have been to members that are simply better Generals than I and the other 1% due to some major miscalculations.
I wanted to know how the slide worked and that has been explained. I wanted to know if a competitor could determine whether the slide had been moved and that has been answered.
However, as previously mentioned, the slide might be used by a newer member in a most innocent manner. Perhaps moving the slide to favor their side thinking that this is the proper thing to do and that their opponent will move the slide to favor them and thereby balance the scenario?
Except for games versus the totally ignorant AI, I see no purpose to the slide since balancing a game between players of different experience and talent can be done by chosing a particular scenario.
I am pleased to note that hardly anyone that has responded to this thread has ever given any thought to the slide!
