Dierk,
Ever see a movie called "The Duellists" about two Napoleonic French officers who bump into each other every couple of years and always renew their long standing feud by duelling again and again? That's what we're starting to remind me of <img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

I had that thought, too ... But why is this so? <img src=icon_smile_shy.gif border=0 align=middle>

Sorry you take such high offense to my actions.

I don't! Your game is yours, and my game is mine. But you had asked "a basic question for everyone" - now am I everyone, or not?

And let's both do try to keep our discussion on a gentlemanly level <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Well, I thought I had! No?
Seriously, I like your story, and I am convinced you have earned your draw. However, I have also often fought desperate battles, and fought them well, and have bitterly complained about losing them still because of something I thought was just not fair or sheer coincidence, or just the way the system worked, while it should have worked different IMO. <br>
However, how can I expect my opponent to grant me the victory level <u>I</u> think appropriate? This is a game, and it has rules, and I prefer them simple. Victory level is determined by points. Casualties and possession of objectives decide the outcome. Either I achieve a victory within these rules, or I don't. If I don't, well, that's life then. <br>
I still think that if I leave the field, I have surrendered it and my opponent has a victory. You can have it your way of course. But let me have it my way, will you? I leave a field either after completion of the last turn, or without my sword.
