Flag placement for ME games

[Cross]

I've been using similar Meeting Engagement flag placement for some time, and agree that it creates a much fairer battle.

*Only use 20 flags (put the 21st in the gray map edge)
*Place 10 on each side (in colours of side, so no intel when neutral flag changes)
*Don't place any in the central 'no-mans-land' (At least 10 hexes wide)
*Place some flags 5 hexes from centre some 10 or more (same total distance for both sides)
*Use realistic map features (hill tops, cross roads, bridges etc)

It' a little tougher as you have to cover more ground. So battles are often won with only 2 or 3 flags captured, but as long as you use the Blitz scoring system it works great.
