Points Selection

[FNG]

Hi,

Under SPWaW in a PBEM game players 2 points were determined by what player 1 spent. Knowing now that SPMBT and SPWaW use different engines is this the same?

The reason I ask is that I have the points set to 10,000 and I know I only spent about half but my opponent seems to have far more equipment than me and I suspect he might have spent the full allotment.

IIRC:

It matters what is set in preferences. If Player #2s point setting in preferences is "XXX" then the number of points they receive will be set based on the mission type and how many points player 1 spent.

If player #2 has a number instead of the Xs, then they will have that actual number available, regardless of what player 1 used and/or mission type.

great, will need to check my mates preferencies.

Still, kicking his butt with fewer points is satisfing.

holdon that makes no sense.

That means that if I have 3000 points for player 2 thats what I will always have regardless of what player 1's points are?

No, that means if you set up a game, and enter 3000 points for player 2, thats what he is gonna get regardless how many points you used.

does player 2's preferencies make any difference whenthe game is emailed to him for his force selection?

No, player's 2 prefernce doesnt matter, at least I never noticed anything like this happened. Quite opposite, his preferences will be replaced by the ones you emailed him.
