"Gamey" tactics

[TheBigRedOne]

Static objectives do not lend themselves very well to a situation where there is either a delaying action by the defense or an attempt to retake key ground by the defense in a counter attack late in the game. In this case a VP award of "x" VP by turn for the side holding the objective works. This VP per turn basis does not have to be a linear one. Sometimes it makes sense to start with a low number that increases slightly each turn so a late game re-capture of the objective by the defense could tip the game result. This forces both sides to both attack and defend or causes the defender to try to hold a little longer to a forward position to get those extra VP.

Bottom line, a designer chooses the best approach for the game system for scoring objectives and balancing that with expected casualty VP, and we just live with it.

What you're describing is somewhat similar to the Asymmetric Scoring option in SB, although that one doesn't really get used much.
