Master of Maps: Battlefield Earth

[Geoffrey]

Short and sweet: Defenders should go first

I think I've got years to wait for this, hopefully!

 

[Dalinar]

The expected number of games to delete will be around 40 given starting 40 games with half of them duds - it's an infinite series 40*(1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8...).

Anyway, I think it'd be good to do for the first few rounds when it's easier to get knocked out.

Thanks for the input guys and thanks for the offer Sheriff. But I'm going to stick with no rule for defenders to start first.

This is not the Majcom League, this is a battlefield. In the battlefield sometimes you know your enemy is coming, but sometimes he sneaks up to you. Therefore letting the game decide who goes first simulates the battlefield the best.

And this will be a long competition. If we let the defenders go first in every game, this will never end.

So, no rule on defenders going first. End of discussion ;-)

So umm... I can't tell which shade of green is me on the big map.

Perhaps put a black line across colors that are similar (1 vert line, 2 vert lines, 1 horz line, diagonal one way, diagonal the other)?

Or maybe it would be easier to publish a list of starting positions by player to match up with what's on the map?

Haha, to fast Chilly!

I published a list with territories by player under the map

Yeah, I''m having problems recognizing my color as well.

Just and idea, but what if you change the color of the borders of the rectangles? Maybe you could use black+white+red. What do you think?
