Timed games.

It would be like a normal game, but there is an overall time limit. Say at intervals of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, etc.

If I need to go soon but want to play a quick game of VW I could just set the time limit to say...10 minutes. If I happen to beat them all within 10 minutes, so be it. But, if it does last to the end of 10 minutes the winner(s) will be decided on a number of variables (such as amount of territories conquered, finishing blows, etc.).

I like this since I don't have much time to play a huge level 8 player game that takes hours to win...

Yes, this is a good idea.

But some people are really good at the early game part and suck at the end game and even the middle sometimes.

You don't have to play it if you don't have to.

Yes, I know that. Were you under the impression that I had hallucinations of military police forcing me to play timed games?

What I mean is: To gain the best advantages during games, people stick to what they are best at. I am best at Hard Core games, so that is what I usually play as. If someone happens to be good at certain aspects of timed games then they are free to use that to their heart's content.
