Re: VPs
Flags are focal points whether AI or player controled they are an objective to head to. No neeed to get there quick if playing another player covering the paths to while slowly working others towards is logical. They work fine when grouped or better still if placed in 2-7 groups on sensible objectives, shotgun however does not work well in my view for PBEM just go for the ones reasonably close to each other & ignore the rest. However vs the AI it changes the nature of the game as its harder to predict where it might come from. Having said that the AI often completly ignore them till mid game when it will try & swing round on them much like you might do.
If however your opponent treats meetings as delays hardly getting off his start line as I have come across the simple solution is stop playing them or treat as a delay & go for a big push on his flank
