Re: [GZG] Point Systems



So you have the All Blacks play your local Under-13s, win 99-nil, and think you've done something clever?

Yes. If you're fighting a war, you HAVE done something clever.

Obviously fighting a war GAME is not the same, since you want it to be even enough to be fun for both sides...but you want to have it simulate a combat situation, so both sides should have some idea that they might win.

Historically, of course, we can say things like "In the actual battle, the French lost five ships, so if you lose less than that, you've done better than the real admiral." So perhaps a way to handle that would be to play it the first time and call that the "historical" result.
