No problem, that's done now.

Thanks Steve. :-)

The flood stops before it reaches the edge, so everyone can potentially survive. However, I'll change it to "the surviving player with the most VPs wins at the end".

Game 54835: Chris1977, petermock, xeno, RABID in 'The Flood'

The latter makes more sense to me. Surely if you allow unlimited turns everyone will just drown? So whoever survives to the end and has most VPs.

I can relate. My family and I are all neurodivergent in one way or another.

Game 54835: Chris1977, petermock, xeno, RABID in 'The Flood'

The first time I "won" The Flood. Never played it more than a few times, never really liked it. That was why I was pleased to "win" it. And then rather pissed when I didn't. No Biggie it's a game. But I am semi-competitive. Never been someone who wants to win at all costs. Macho bullshit. The main thing is the enjoyment of the game. But I'm a stickler for fairness. I have Asperger's so that probably emphasises it.

The latter would be better as the mission file said. You have to go and hunt the enemy not just sit back and defend to the last man. I followed the mission details to go out and get the VPs and retreat to escape the flood.

Agreed, this mission description isn't particularly accurate and doesn't cover all circumstances (particularly if the number of turns expires). I think there's a couple of ways I can tweak it:

* Increase the number of turns so that it keeps going until only one player is left, and they are the winner.
* Make the winner the player with the most VPs when the turns do run out, as the description specifies.

Any thoughts?

My guy was extra-lucky, then...!

I was going to go after you as I had six units left but thought I have more VPs so play it cautious. You showed yourself and my units were on opp fire. All fired and missed. Then I took shots on my turn and all missed. Four aimed, six snap shots and two auto in total I believe between the two turns.

Maybe because neither of us reached 100 VPs? If so, the mission description probably needs a tweak to make this clearer. I must confess I was all prepared to chalk this up as another loss and just be happy with my single survivor and VPs...

Game 54835: Chris1977, petermock, xeno, RABID in 'The Flood'

Can't understand why this is a drawn. It quite clearly says in the mission file and I quote:
The winner is the player that kills the most enemies but survives until the end.

My VPs were 90, Chris had 80. We both survived to the end.

Good game, chaps! Sorry it ended boringly in a draw, but ultimately I was out of long-range weaponry (and couldn't get any more as it was all underwater!), so couldn't possibly win, and by the same token I wasn't prepared to sacrifice my hard-earned VPs by letting my last guy die unnecessarily. Besides, xeno, I don't think I've ever not lost with you as an adversary, so a draw is definitely an improvement on the usual run of things...

I learned from the best ;)

I see Rabid is copying my long established approach. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.:)
