I'm not disagreeing with the general idea of VP, but the
point JohnA was making is that if Red sets the values of
Red's ships, Blue hasn't any idea of what he needs to do to
win. Okay, MAYBE Blue can guess, based on Red's formation
and actions--but that's not the way victory conditions are
set for real commanders. The key thing for Blue is what
value Blue's commander assigns to things.
