I would not support it. It prevents a "come from behind victory" and I have had a few of those over the years against the French.
I think I know when to turn over my sword.

Has anyone ever played using an "automatic victory" stipulation. I have been contemplating asking for something like an auto victory condition that simply states that if the score total reaches "major victory" after a completed full turn, the losing side must sue for peace and the scenario is over with a Major Victory declared. I think having a rule like this may change how you approach a long game scenario like say...."Leipzig" where you may have hundreds of turns before your entire Allied or French Army is on the map or even joins the battle. You may want to avoid battle and being defeated in detail before they all arrive. All comments appreciated. |

If Napoleon is killed .. game is over as far as I am concerned. The loss of Napoleon would have staggered the French army. |

Hey Colin. We need to play a game. It is long overdue. P.S. Your mother wears army boots. |

I'd agree, "I know when to lay down my sword." It might be a thing when there is some piece of territory that is of such singular importance that losing it would "break" an army, and I'd use that as the trigger. But even that would have to be something to the level of "take the only bridge that allows the other side to retreat" or the like. (Paging the Berezina...) |
