Re: (TFT) Momentum

[Martin Gallo <martimer@mindspring.com>]

It sounds like another iteration about the role of "initiative" in a  
game. I think we are discussing a morale related idea, where one side  
feels they are ahead (despite any score) and so is able to somehow  
keep possession of the tempo of the event. It lasts until they give it  
up or lose it to a concerted effort by the other side.

I have always disliked the initiative portion of most games as I see  
it as arbitrary and very much "not reflective of what I perceive  
happening in real life". Never have found a 'perfect' method of  
reflecting this on the table, other than DRMs for each side based on  
circumstances.
