Hi, Col Hayes,
Congratulations on your victory at Gettysburg. My experience would lead me to believe they are rare for the South. I suspect your opponent was in as bad shape after the battle as you were, and that was often the case. Murfreesboro comes to mind. I have no experience with FtW, but it sounds like a lot of fun. But it seems to me that without victory hexes, Lee could fortify the Blue Ridge Mountains and dare the Yanks to come after him. Of course, they would do no such thing; they would simply march down and take Richmond or starve him out, which shouldn't take long. I say at least have the exit VP hexes for important roads. But I wish they would fix it so that units exiting could come back as reinforcements when your crafty foe attacks the rear guard. Losing the points gained by exiting, of course. Another thing is that once a unit exits, any enemy reinforcements on that hex are cancelled. I know objective hexes can be annoying, but I think they are a necessary evil to give some sort of purpose to a battle. My two cents. Again.
