    I have, particularly in zone control missions where it becomes "If you blow me outta the zone the game's going to end before you get a chance to score."

    Also, the check against mindless aggression should be playing defense.

    I agree, but sounds like those games were in fact closer than it seems.

    Nope. I mean I saw a TAK player electing not to use NWI and having his Vet Kazaks go unconscious instead because going into retreat was such a game-winning option.

    I have not quite managed this myself even if I've tried a few times and I have lost tournament points to this happening and it always sucks, I think a game should end as soon as one player doesn't have any troopers in non-null state - this would mean there's a reason for Retreating off the board.
    At the same time, there is some elements of preventing the other player from playing to the objectives in all this, so it's not entirely one-sided as that, is it?

    Well, the game ending as soon as one side is *entirely* wiped out is one thing, but the problem is that I see it get to the point where you have to avoid shooting troopers that are threatening the objective or the game might end.
