This issue has existed for years but CB hasn't FAQ'd it yet, what makes you think they'll do it now?
I really disagree. The first reason I disagree is that because points costs are hidden information, getting your opponent into retreat is a...
Why couldn't you just do that any time you were about to lose, then?
If we didn't have the ITS version of retreat we wouldn't have had that brouhaha in the last euro championships, for example.
Perhaps they got their land stolen from them?
I don't think anyone's advocating that the game shouldn't end at three turns. The problem is when it ends at 2.5.
There's a lot of bad practices/editing going on in that tournament document.
People can use a post-hoc justification for anything. Plenty of other people find it incongruous; the difference is the first group, who claim...
It's not bad that missions alter this, it's the particular way in which the ITS missions altered it that's the problem.
I hate to say it but mixed-regiment fireteams are kind of unfluffy given how Morats work, where they regard their regiment as their primary social...
I seem to remember last season Transmission Matrix had no special Retreat! rules so used the core rules. Dunno if that's still the case.
And when it's in the ITS rules it's somehow thematic? @paraelix i'd make the argument that attacking the opponent's pieces is usually more...
You're reaching. If that logic isn't supported in the background of the game... why is it part of the core rules?
That's fine, and orthogonal to the point. The question is why the scenarios are written this way.
Except it's not, because attacking the enemy prevents *them* from accomplishing the mission; it's a competitive game. The idea that you somehow...
Because the idea that killing too many of the opponent's deniable forces or literal enemy combatants would cause a mission failure beggars belief.
A lot of people thought that "Black Lives Matter" somehow meant "Only Black Lives Matter." Misinterpretation happens.
No, it hasn't. The "fluff" justifications for the ITS Retreat! rules are just wrong or off base. I have no doubts about that. The...
No, it's just not even an implication of the text. If people feel that way they're off base.
It could be said that's part of the fun, but I think that's a post hoc justification for the status quo - I have a sneaking suspicion that walking...
