This site is really not too comparable to the board game in my opinion. You are going to tell me that someone playing for the first time on a map like waterloo or AoR with fog of war and trench on know what the hell is going on?
Anyways I could see how you would want new players to be one and done with their games makes alot of sense, I probably won't respond again because I could care less just trying to point something out that makes no sense... Anyways time to go play some more people that are clueless! See ya!
And again, you won't learn at all the basics, playing with another who doesn't know anything, atleast with the expert you'll see things(aka tactics, strategies), and you'll try to imitate them in other game, that's how babies start learning by imitation, a baby will learn more to walk watching someone expert in running, than seeing another baby that also doesn't know how to walk (he'll only learn from the other baby, if the other baby already knows or knows much more).
Tears rolled down your face?? Really? That's getting way too emotional for something you don't know, just enjoy being defeated 100 times and learn 100 ways of how not to play.
That's why I said another pages, and then mentioned the board, they have another maps in other pages. But your suggestion says that NR should play only in classic map with the basic settings. How will that help them with waterloo or AoR with fog of war and trench? It seems you just want to get riddance of the NRs.
Also, trench it seems to be a common setting in some places of the world, for the board game, but I get your point.
So tell me, what about your first time in fog games? or in trench? or in freestyle? or nuclear or a old map that you haven't tried? Did you play it with NR? or with noobs of that setting as you were? or with experts that had many games under their belt with that setting/map?
If we follow your logic, then we should do training for players who are new in a setting or a map, in others words, someone who ONLY has played 100000 sequential games, here in the classic map, decides to play a freestyle game in africa's map. Shouldn't he get the training for new players before?
If your answer is no, that means that you only want to ban NR, not to "help them" as you say.
On the other hand, if your answer is yes, how do you suggest that we do that? It would be simple if we had different scores for different settings and maps, but as we don't have it, we should find for something that discerns in which settings/maps are you new. Also, I suppose that, this games being training game I suppose that you can win and lose points as usual right?
