I think its the whole Little Wars thing.<br /><br />The whole "sufficiency" thing needs more thought. The 1st step is figuring out what the actual needs for sufficiency are. I may need to go back to picking 1 scenario, picking the rules and org and focusing on that till its done.<br /><br />More on this this week.

If it's just a case of some tweaking and basing, then yes why not finish the job. On the other hand, if a project is 50% complete but faltering, is there a risk one might find oneself forcing it half-heartedly and a fresh start might be better?<br /><br />Food for thought and a thanks for a thought-provoking post to start the new year.
