competion gaming is s***e anyway.

There I`ve gone and said it.

Hear, hear. Never could stand the "win at all costs" mentality of most of the participants.

In 35 years of wargaming I haven't played one competition game!
Played one 15mm WRG 6th edition ancients, with it's invisible shield walls  (don't ask!)
Points values are for pussies  !

No, seriously, we've used points values for campaigns, well, as a budget really

Now we use a Victory Points system, even for budgets. Works like this:
all militia units are free
all other units cost 1VP, except:
Guard units, which are 2VP.
This is regardless of size, quality or type.

In a battle you gain 2VP for winning, 1VP for losing.
Each unit you destroy or rout off table gains you a VP.

Sounds incredibly bad but it actually works! Takes the accountancy out of campaign games. As one of our group said, "I do bloody accounts all day at work, I don't want to have do it again in my leisure time." 'nuff said.
