It does seem to shift the emphasis.<br /><br />I have used the 1/2 rather than more than 1/2. Either way there are issues with certain unit sizes and since I play various games such as Charge! and MacDuff which use more than 1/2, I find it less confusing to be consistent. I have been looking for an alternative for element vs figure games for several years and think I have it now.

Still and all, I can see its attractions, and the 'portable wargame' concepts and Morschauser's ideas does have a certain appeal. <br /><br />It might be worth testing one very small change: try amending the 'less than half' rule, to a 'half or less' rule, and see what happens.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Ion Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-25637906208929034502012-11-14T21:25:04.150-04:002012-11-14T21:25:04.150-04:00I'm following your evolutions on the various r...I'm following your evolutions on the various rules/games, and I am intrigued to see where it goes.Fitz-Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510866929782142007noreply@blogger.com
