Saipan 1944

By Vince I think its pointless (no pun intended on the word pointless) for the designer to rate them because they simply can not be neutral ratings.

Having re-read the last two pages it suddenly struck me that we are misapprehending Jay's activities. Jay is not rating his own creations here. He is rating how good a job the development crew at APL did with his creations. He has commented (mainly at consimworld) on how his scenarios and special rules were changed to meet Avalanche's perceived requirements. Thus his ratings actually have additional value, as do Ottavio's and Murray's, as they are rating the final product, and not their version of the product.
