By the time I had just about finished editing the rules, I realized that I had pretty much recreated the rules I used for the January's War of 1812 game (click) .

Well, thats not a bad thing. I had really enjoyed that game but had been unsure if all the rules choices had been the right ones for me. I've now reassured myself that they are right for me but that still calls for another game to confirm it.

Still, it won't hurt to replay the same scenario again. I find that playing the same scenario keeps the variables to a minimum when comparing rules.
The rules may be found here <click>.
I enjoy playing the same scenario over and over and over...
ReplyDeleteIf doing a scenario a number of times to see if they work, could be useful to do some of the games where you don't roll for results - use an expected 'average' to replace a dice roll. That way the odd extreme low probability dice roll won't skew the game and give a false idea of how things are working.
ReplyDeleteThat can be useful but there are a lot of dice rolled but not by any one unit, no single roll has a big impact or high odds of happening so here it would essentially be picking winners as far as I can see.
DeleteI can't remember a game where the luck was consistently skewed for one side but I will keep my eye open for a prolonged run of skewed dice and see if it has an impact.
I like replayed scenarios. Only the better ones get replayed and they do provide a benchmark for rule testing.
ReplyDeleteJust so.
DeleteI do like the idea of playing the same scenario a couple of times to test out rules variations or scenario specific modifications. Nice to see the French Troupes de Terre. Vive le Roi! I assume if the Abenaki and Mi'kmaq are in the open, the Maliseets are lurking somewheres else... Maybe not so good for Les Bostonnais there in the foreground.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing all this.
