Removing units from the map

[Glint]

Why leave a unit on the map that you no longer need? Why give the other player an easy kill like a truck? Remove them if you do not need them any more. As far as combat units if there is no good reason to leave a badly disrupted unit on the map for an easy kill, or if your are sure units will be surrounded and annihilated, head for the hills and get off the map :) You should give the other player as little free rides as possible.

Yeah Joe, I was talking as it happened, I asked myself, 'is it a fair ploy or not?'
End of the day,I agree with you and with cpl KK's post - Default ROE's are what counts, any decisions on play,within the roe, is war!

As for your post, Pat, perhaps the scenario is not a good one if it allows for that to happen? (i.e, - ''As mentioned, some scenarios require the destruction of your opponents forces to gain a victory. I've played scenarios wherein if one side were to exit all their forces from the map in the very beginning, there were not enough VP hexes in total to provide the aggressor with more than a minor loss.'')

Just a question:

The default ROE is that there are no ROE, right? I would hate to find myself in a situation someone would assume there was a rule in place that was not explicitly agreed upon beforehand.

As far as combat units if there is no good reason to leave a badly disrupted unit on the map for an easy kill, or if your are sure units will be surrounded and annihilated, head for the hills and get off the map :) You should give the other player as little free rides as possible.

Joe:

Unless the scenario explicitly allows combat units to exit the map (via defined exit/victory hexes)... I would not do so... or ever agree to this ROE.

IMO, this is NOT a best practice... and one that should be avoided. That is about as "nice" as I can phrase it! :eek1:

So, if units are gonna be annihilated, is it realistic for them to stay and be killed, as if the limits of the map are like forty foot walls that they can't escape through or over? The scenario map is for the area of fighting, it's pretty unrealistic to me that units cannot escape from the battle?

Equally, I haven't come across many, if any, of all the scenarios I've played, where it states, 'combat units may exit the map' ? Neither have I seen them state that you can't. So, to me anyway, it's how each player interprets it surely?
