Play Format

[Shad]

Relevant bits of Tony's post from the old thread:

1. I would think that we would want to limit the scenarios to 1- session skype games, as it seems like 2 or more session games tend to go a month or more before completion. Turn length and Number of counters seem to be more of a factor of game length than actual map size. I don't know if anyone has done a study on the duration yet but it seems to me in a game with two players fairly familiar with the rules, 10-15 turns with approximately 80 counters or less can usually be completed in 1 session. I think participation would be greater. At least for the first one...

2. I like the idea of match play better, similar to the world cup, possibly? Awarding points for levels of victory or some other method, as we all know some Victory conditions are "impossible" as written and would lead to pre-determined results. Maybe as part of the scenario selection process, making sure that all scenarios were based on casualty figures of number of units exiting. I think we would almost need to have the players play both sides, just to make things more level.
