[ASLML] ABTF VC

[Seth W Fancher]

Hi David,

You have interpreted the VC correctly IMO.  As to why they are that way, I 
think that as the CG progresses, the British have progressively fewer 
troops.  So, in order to compel the British to fight somewhere, the CGSSR 
about control of Block H comes into play.  Otherwise you could just have UK 
MMC running around the map.  This way, there is a point at which the 
fighting will ultimately end (if you are the UK player, you will defend 
Block H over all others), and the block is big enough to allow some rout 
paths if the Germans encircle the entire block.  Plus, with the Block 
Control rules, the UK will be assured of a decent sized perimeter for each 
CG date, rather than, say, Block L where the Germans will get a number of 
FTR Surrender/KIAs and a single OBA module can cover the entire block.

But that's all just speculation on my part.  Most importantly, I believe 
you have understood the VC correctly.

Be well.

Seth
