| Re: [eia] FW: Dice server automated response |
I have no problem announcing when there are corps present that contain
20+ factors. As you say, I assumed that it was obvious that with 69 factors
in 3 corps, at least 2 of my corps would have to contain 20+ factors (and it
didn't really matter whether the third did or did not, since the
consequences would be the same).
I guess there is a question as to whether the declaration has to come at
the beginning of the battle or whether it need only be revealed at the end.
Since I (inadvertantly) only revealed at the end of the battle that I had
corps in excess of 20 factors, we could say that that set precedent, and
that a side need only announce these facts at the end of a battle, if it
matters. (After all, if France had won the battle, then the fact that the
French side contained corps with 20+ factors would have been irrelevant. It
was only relevant because France was the loser.)
So my recommendation is that we set the policy that a side only needs to
reveal whether it started the battle with corps of size 20+ at the *end* of
the battle, and then only if it matters. (Since it only matters in the
assignment of political points, only the loser of a battle would ever have
to make such a declaration.)
But if others disagree, it's really not a big deal as far as I'm
concerned. If people prefer both sides declaring at the beginning of a
battle, I'm happy to do that as well.
