RE: Rank Structure and New APL Games
Going on from what PY and Alan have mentioned, I guess my involvement with Brett in the C&C2 book helps me to understand their points more.
Using that book as an example, it would be something of a huge challenge just to get the medal ribbon for it. There are only 18 'scenarios' but they are divided as thus:
1 = 9 scenario campaign game using VP's to decide win losing and draw
2 = 8 scenario campaign in the same way as above
3 = 1 scenario huge campaign game that will involve numerous games on the BN map as well as tracking of losses and replacements etc.
To ever get that medal would seem quite a commitment when another for example could be obtained for a 10 scenario package (which is the only type and single one I have ever earned due to flitting from package to package).
On my own note, I am not too worried about the chrome. I like it, but it is packaging and not too much to worry about. My honest held drive would be a mission to get far more players on board whether solo or otherwise and also to expand actual live opponent play in the series so that there was a bustling 'play' community.
