It worked ok, more or less as intended but.......well...it just didn't feel like "my" rules. So I spend the rest of Saturday night putting them to rights and played through the game this morning. Ahhhhhhhhh. ( Oh dear, What a ramshackle lot, 1/2 through rebasing and really not looking their best)
I guess I'm stuck with my Morschauser inspired game, 3" melee rule and all. I guess I shouldn't really be surprised, I've been trying to beat them into something more traditional or common for 5 years but I just like 'em as they are/were. I'm not even sure why. It may be partly because they are comfortable, it may be that I end up getting the results I want fairly easily, even if the rules do go all fuzzy and vague just when it matters!
The bottom line is I like the way the game plays and what else really matters? This fall's contemplations and experiments have confirmed the over all shape and improved some minor details. They will work as I want for my 40mm games & my 1/72nd games, time to stop fiddling with rules and get on with painting some toy soldiers and playing some games!

Ross,
ReplyDeleteComfort is very important. If it ain`t broke, don`t fix it, sir.
By the way, are you still remembering to take things a bit easy, sir

Ross - absolutely - you should do what feels right. As for stopping fiddling with the rules - I applaud the intent, but the betting is against it!

I really wouldn't concern yourself - they're wargames rules not holy writ, it's not as if there's one way.
ReplyDeleteWise words Jeff,
ReplyDeleteTony, I fear you are correct?
Conrad, Don't concern myself?! Life without angst?
Next thing you know I'd start sipping the water of life as I play!
