I literally ask myself this question every time I see the Speed Games tab.

as far as speed games go, i think because it's a map that lends itself to forcing action at a certain point?

the auto drops create clear goals and conflict points, thus a speed game won't last forever - typically over in 2-3 hours, it can be won from virtually any starting drop so there is no immediate advantage save for those times when a player no shows and someone is left all alone somewhere, there are many avenues of attack so it isn't too boring, plus like jack said, it's fun. i asked myself this when i started playing speed games and after playing it a couple hundred times, i get it now. just my two cents

I agree with everything that Jack and Nut have said.

Additionally, though, there are three CC maps that do a really good job of accurately portraying the feel of a historical conflict -- to not just show a map of the battle, but to have game mechanics that recreate the strategic considerations of the men who fought there. The three outstanding historical maps are WWI Gallipoli, Stalingrad, and Baltic Crusades. All three are beautifully done, beautifully researched, and have game mechanics that truly reflect the strategic issues of the time. Of the three standouts, however, WWI Gallipoli and Stalingrad are big and complex and a lot of work to play. Baltic Crusades is the only one that's relatively quick and easy.

The starting drop is one of the best. You can give ground and make a game changing defensive stand. Luck and skill are huge factors. It's the closest thing to leagalized gambling on CC.
