• Good game, chaps! Sorry it ended boringly in a draw, but ultimately I was out of long-range weaponry (and couldn't get any more as it was all underwater!), so couldn't possibly win, and by the same token I wasn't prepared to sacrifice my hard-earned VPs by letting my last guy die unnecessarily. Besides, xeno, I don't think I've ever not lost with you as an adversary, so a draw is definitely an improvement on the usual run of things...

• Can't understand why this is a drawn. It quite clearly says in the mission file and I quote:
  The winner is the player that kills the most enemies but survives until the end.
  
  My VPs were 90, Chris had 80. We both survived to the end.

• Maybe because neither of us reached 100 VPs? If so, the mission description probably needs a tweak to make this clearer. I must confess I was all prepared to chalk this up as another loss and just be happy with my single survivor and VPs...

• I was going to go after you as I had six units left but thought I have more VPs so play it cautious. You showed yourself and my units were on opp fire. All fired and missed. Then I took shots on my turn and all missed. Four aimed, six snap shots and two auto in total I believe between the two turns.

• My guy was extra-lucky, then...!

• Agreed, this mission description isn't particularly accurate and doesn't cover all circumstances (particularly if the number of turns expires). I think there's a couple of ways I can tweak it:
  
  * Increase the number of turns so that it keeps going until only one player is left, and they are the winner.
  * Make the winner the player with the most VPs when the turns do run out, as the description specifies.
  
  Any thoughts?

• The latter would be better as the mission file said. You have to go and hunt the enemy not just sit back and defend to the last man. I followed the mission details to go out and get the VPs and retreat to escape the flood.

• The first time I "won" The Flood. Never played it more than a few times, never really liked it. That was why I was pleased to "win" it. And then rather pissed when I didn't. No Biggie it's a game. But I am semi-competitive. Never been someone who wants to win at all costs. Macho bullshit. The main thing is the enjoyment of the game. But I'm a stickler for fairness. I have Asperger's so that probably emphasises it.

• I can relate. My family and I are all neurodivergent in one way or another.

• The latter makes more sense to me. Surely if you allow unlimited turns everyone will just drown? So whoever survives to the end and has most VPs.

• The flood stops before it reaches the edge, so everyone can potentially survive. However, I'll change it to "the surviving player with the most VPs wins at the end".
