no noobs please
Just got back in town. So do you have a new map or not? The dropbox links just appear to be stock maps, but showing the setup zones for each side.
I completely disagree that you have to know where the opposing sides setup boundary is to properly purchase a force. In fact I think it works better if each side does not know the exact setup boundaries of their opponent. There would be no way in real life to tell exactly where the enemy is and isn't on a map. Plus it makes proper recon (important skill) more involved. Force purchase should be made based on terrain and objectives, that is all that is required to make adequate purchases. I'm not going to look through the dropbox you made up, it lessens the experience for me. Plus it is fairly easy to make general assumptions about where the enemy will be, whether you are defending or attacking. Of course after a bit of play someone might get a repeat map and know more about a setup zone, and of course with a mirrored game each player would have full knowledge of each setup zone. Otherwise I would never look at the map (QB or especially scenario) from my opponents viewpoint. Knowing the other players setup zone in a QB isn't a total game changer of course, but I just prefer to not go that route.
If you have a new map like you said earlier let's get on it. If you have a stock map you want to play, propose a battle and I'll pick a side.
