Point Values

[Jason Petho]

While having infantry and tanks being equal across the board would make scenario design easier, I don't think quality scenario design should be easy.

In principle, I do not think they should be equal. While that works for chess, the Campaign Series is significantly more complex than chess.

The value of a Russian Rifle platoon circa 1941 in terms of rarity, weapon ratings, firepower, trainging, abilties and expendability (among other values) is significantly lower than that of an American Rifle platoon circa 1944. Both of these platoons should not be worth 3VP each.

Same for tanks. A Panzer II and a Panzer VI are not created equal on any level and should not be given an equal value.

Quality scenario design takes into consideration the various victory point levels of the units in play when creating victory conditions. Were losses considered important in the battle? Was the capture of terrain more important?

If yes or no, there are methods of adjusting the victory conditions to represent either answer, or a variation of both.
