New Idea for ME's?

[Mad Baron]

Recently played one with no flags. The Computer AI added some on it's own. We restarted with just one small flag in each side's corner, way out of reach...and the battle ground forward like WWI trench warfare once we met along a front. It seems to me, if there are several small flags towards the center, no one is going to go after them all, so (in theory) each side decides on a battle plan to execute, and goes from there. If there are only small flags out there, sitting on them alone isn't going to win anything...casualties will count for more. But several flags at least give some initial objectives. All still theory at this point....
