Regarding yesterday’s post on rethinking our philosophy towards objective based missions, here’s the list I’ve been working on. Last night, I finally got it to a nice, even 1500 points (thanks for the suggestion, Zeev; it really freed up some points!), and here it is for review:

Feel free to pick it apart and make suggestions. Just remember the idea behind it – killing is more important than capturing. Our units aren’t hardy enough to be defensive, so we have to be completely on the ranged offensive.
