New Team Game--Tarawa (Proud and Few)

[Jeff Conner]

Gentlemen:

I would like to partake if there is still room. If not, I believe Alan mentioned the possibility of getting two team games started. I would be happy to wait for the second game if necessary.

One of the reasons that the variable ending optional rule is not real popular in PBEM games is that the rule is not used (to the best of my knowledge anyway) in playtesting or scenario design. Consequently, adding turns to the end of the game can seriously change the play balance in favor of the attacker. I have never seen a game end before the number of allotted turns when using this rule, which would be a benefit to the defender. I believe the algorithm used to determine if the game continues another turn has more to do with the contention for objectives than the overall score in the game, but I could be mistaken on this.
