I completley agree there, these big games are about fun, you can't really take them seriously, 500 a side, it's obvious it isn't competative, if your being a sore looser about it and moaning that the side you were playing for didnt win, don't play big games!
However i do not agree on that, my team have gone into many games outnumberd 3/1 and still come out on top! the North did have many top Scenario teams on their side, these teams when they all work together prove difficult to beat even with large amounts of numbers! and when some of these teams combined (which did happen) over the course of the day, it gave everyone else a boost of confidence, with a big charge of many good scenario teams and highly confident players behind them, the opposing side would quickly fall! Besides, it was n't a big scrap in one area all day, there was different size groups all over the large playing area, and with the scenario teams having a better idea what to do in situations, it meant the north came out on top of many battles! yes the north had another 80 or so, but team of 20 working together like a team could easy hold off 3/1 odds!
And after reading things about you robbo (in PGi), you'd know that being outnumbered doesn't nessaserily mean anything
MY little rant!
