I felt the same way about Capture & Control at first. Then I got more practiced at it and adapted my lists. Right now the only time I think there’s a real issue of it being too easy to get a Draw is in Spearhead deployment. But even with that, if you build in some Deep Striking and/or Outflanking capacity, it’s not nearly so Draw-prone as I first found it. I would tend to say that Capture & Control / Spearhead is the second-worst mission, after DoW / Anni.

Personally, my main beef with kill points is all the custom mission (from tournament reports etc) that I see where different parts of your force are more or less valuable. Finding out that my 1k mech IG force has gone from 11 kpts to 30 kpts due to some strange scenario is not a pleasant thought.

Yeah. At least in rounds 1 and 2 of Ard Boys they let you know the scenarios ahead of time, so you could adjust your list.
