Territories: Long Range Plans

This is basically a Territories and Snipers cross. Normally with a Territories game, you have to sit on the flag to protect it and your opponent will rush in and try to blast you off the spot. But with long rang plans, that all changes. You can protect a territory and without even being near it. Just grab control of one or two territories and then fall back to a sniping position where you can see both sites.

I've played this with three idependent players on Containment with 10 minutes to win. It worked pretty well. It needs some more play time to polish it off.

Additional Notes:
  • The maximum number of territories is eight, but the most I've ever seen on one map is five.
  • You'll want to adjust the time to win based on number of players / teams.
