I've owned the EA rulebook for 10 years, and have been working on the TP for 2. I just realized that it's called "Defend To Flag", not "Defend The Flag".

I blame Mosc. (not due to any wrong doing, just because it feels right).

Also, "Defend To Flag" makes no sense to me.

That sounds about right. As punishment, he should be dropped from any and all email chains and list serves.

As to "Defend to Flag," I would guess that it was a product of that wonderful GW proofreading.

It sounds to me as though they omitted a 'the', and that it should have been 'Defend to the Flag'.

Let's hope it's not 'defend two flags'

It is, actually to defend not 1 or 2, but 3 flags, Commander Sims ;)

You take this victory condition if you hold all 3 objectives in your side of the table


I know ::)

Damn, I never noticed that either. I agree that "Defend to Flag" makes no sense.

Oh, but it does, if you take into account that "all your bases are belong to us"

/fredmans

p.s. it also makes perfect sense if gw has outsourced translation to the Chinese
