"Gamey" tactics

[White Eagle]

I like the idea of objectives becoming "captures". Perhaps at a later date some small refinement is in order to the Squad Battles system regarding objectives and scoring.

I have played some wargames that use the size of a force for determining control of an area. If for example the defender has 3 squads and a leader within a 3-5 hexes of an objective but not actually on the objective, the defenders would have control over the area even if a solitary confused attacker sat down on the objective. It's more realistic to have 3 squads with LOS and at optimum firing range with killzones to retain control of an objective then the opel truck that just drove up and parked on it. Not sure if this system, however more realisitc could even work with Squad Battles.

I like the Squad Battles system, so part of me says not to monkey around with it too much as I do realize parts of the game are abstracted.
