Ed's a great dude to talk to and ...great stuff! Ed's a great dude to talk to and manage his forums well. Personally, I like narrative more than crunchy details and enjoy having my opponent and even my soldiers make some of their own decisions under fire. I was using Chain Reaction 3.0 for Star Wars and blogged two games. While it did have a choppy feel in that each decision was spliced into a mechanic with an action, reaction, re-reaction, re-re-reaction, etc, they usually terminated at a certain point when everyone was OOF, OD or DB.<br /><br />I then got Nuts! to play with Star Wars figs [since Star wars doesn't really add much to ground combat over WWII] but didn't get past reading the rules.<br /><br />Probably the hardest thing for me to get my head around was "when do all the reactions end" and where do I pick up my turn sequence again! I've heard from several people that they think THW would be more manageable if there was a limit to reactions. I am not proficient enough with them to say that is true or not. <br /><br />Both my fights with Star Wars ended in ways that made sense to me. However, I did out-think my AI opponent in that they stupidly wandered into the woods where I ambushed them and cleaned their clocks. That wouldn't have happend perhaps if they were either armed better or I rolled for larger patrols for them, say of equal size.<br /><br />Anyway, this is interesting stuff!ECW 40mm Projecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16170190784599775214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1998967545804783754.post-8676470584613389232012-03-03T19:32:01.891-07:002012-03-03T19:32:01.891-07:00Thanks for sharing.Thanks for sharing.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428727065347379281noreply@blogger.com
