Scoring

[klanx171]

I have used both points and VHs to score games (mostly in the ET tourney) and that mixed with the various game combinations (ass/def, ME etc) leads me to conclusion that while loose systems of scoring will always work (ie X number of VHs) a question that players should often ask is...

How realistic is the battle I want to play?

If players want to have a even playing field then a simple system works fine but like many of the game scenarios there are many different ways to achieve victory and there is a need to match time, space and forces to produce a win not just attrition or ground lost.

In these cases I doubt there is no one system for deciding wins or losses and while the weasel system does a great job, a battle based on historical situations may not want or need a straight forward scoring system.

Just my two cents...
