As an introduction I have been playing WHFB and now KoW tournaments for 20 years and running tournaments for about 10 years.<br />While I agree that Kill! is bad as an tournament scenario, as a modifier to scenario scoring I don't think it is bad. This is a wargame after all and you are trying to outkill your opponent.<br />The Loot example you gave shows a Pyrrhic victory. The victory has been bought at great cost to your army and surely the victory points should reflect this? If this was a campaign and your battle here was linked to a future battle then I'm sure you would be wondering if you had truly "won".<br />The kill points also give the spread that is required to determine a tournament winner.<br />I like your ideas of major/minor victories for different margins of loot/objective counters.<br />In summary, I would argue that a Kill! in moderation is fine and reflects the type of game we are playing.Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10496085752361223719noreply@blogger.com
