..At least I tried.
By the time I had played through roughly half the game, I'd had my fill of the gridded game, soooooooo...........
A quick shuffle here and there, a few tweaks to the off grid rules I used for the last couple of Oberhilse and Faraway games, and things are going smoothly again.
Born and raised in the suburbs of Montreal 7 decades ago. Began playing with toy soldiers at 5 years. Started painting & converting at about 12 yrs and wargaming about 15 yrs. Never really stopped.
5 years in the Black Watch of Canada Cadets, 5 years at the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean followed by 4 in the navy. 25 years with CPC in IT simultaneous with 23 years running a boarding kennel. Inherited my love of toy soldiers from my mother's father. Married with a pack of litle Italian Greyhounds and a cat. Prematurely retired and enjoying leisure to game, maintaining our 170 yr old farmhouse and just living.
As long as you had fun. Never tried gridded games as such - just Cadet Commander which doesn't really count (https://easterngarrison.blogspot.com/p/cadet-commander.html ) - keep thinking about it though.
ReplyDeleteThe grid stuff is all Bob Cordery's fault! :)
DeleteI'm with Rob, whatever makes for an enjoyable game. As a long-time rules tinkerer I enjoy trying out different approaches but it's also nice just to settle down to a game with a rules set that you know you enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI officially blame (or credit) Joe Morschauser for all squares and hexes, but that that's probably anglophonism. There are reports of French miniatures on hexagons as early as WWII.
