What happens if the scoring tracker is on your side and mechanics ask you to place a momentum token where the clear crystal is? Does the game end or is the momentum token not placed? Example; the clear crystal is on three on your side of the tracker and your momentum is on four at the moment and a game mechanic ask you to play some momentum token, which would go on three, which is on top of the clear crystal?

It’s a great question and one I forgot to cover off. You win the struggle whenever a momentum token and the struggle token meet on your side of the tracker - so in your example, you would win the struggle!

@@RichMidGaming I might be understanding it wrong, but what I got from the rules is that momentum tokens can't be placed over the struggle token, even if that's in your side of the tracker. It has to be the struggle token the one that meets a momentum token. So I think that in that example, the momentum token is not placed, "neither player wins, and play continues until the Struggle token would move to a space occupied by one player’s Momentum token."

@@pacollonchtarruella2976 Yep - your understanding is wrong. This is the extract directly from the rules book: 'A players wins the Struggle if the Struggle token would be placed in a space that is occupied by one of their momentum tokens, OR if that player would place a Momentum token in the same space as the Struggle token' I think where you are getting confused is around not being able to place a momentum token on the centre spot...

I like the scoring mechanics in general. The push pull and built in catch up mechanics are nice. The only thing I don't really care for is how objectives are retained by players with the same number of units instead of it going neutral. Perhaps it will all even out, but I see this giving the first player a tremendous advantage more so than a skirmish game like this should. I am still excited for it and I will happily play it even if it isn't super balanced as a beer and pretzels game

Closest scoring system I've seen to this is Godtear - a game I really like. The back and forth is really fun and leads to loads of decision points on where to try and force the vps back in your favour, and also teaches you when it's with cutting your losses and going for the next struggle. Keeps you invested and doesn't feel like an auto loss (which can happen in a lot of other games). Great content as always, the visuals are really helping!

The scoring system is probably the thing that I find the most interesting from Shatterpoint. I'm wondering if strategically keeping the struggle token on your opponents side of the board can be a viable strategy. So, each turn, you are gaining momentum tokens until you are ready for a big swing in your direction.

It's interesting with this sort of rubber-banding. On one hand it's a great handicap system if one player is lagging behind, but on the other hand it reads like the achievments of one player will be offset by the momentum tokens. This is one that I have to play to be able to judge, to see if it feels right...

I'm curious how the scoring system "scales up" to tournament formats. You sort of have 2 scoring systems on top of each other (struggles won and VPs). Legion has this as well (objective points scored vs army points destroyed). In a tournament, the nature of the struggles won doesn't play nice with typical ranking systems (MoV for example). Is winning 2-1 different than 2-0 in struggles? Its going to be interesting for sure.
