Expect an offer to put on a Portable Wargame session at COW2011.

My (long-held) theory is that complexity of the games one likes is inversely proportional to the complexity of the rest of one's life.Tim Gowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00561988214539953646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-37907094968041192842011-03-22T06:39:15.126+00:002011-03-22T06:39:15.126+00:00Conrad Kinch,

Simple does not mean that they are any less enjoyable to use or any less historically correct; the latter is much more a function of good design.<br /><br />I would also add HOTT (and to a lesser extent, DBA) to your list of much modified rules that many wargamers use.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-89940633003058435832011-03-21T23:49:31.891+00:002011-03-21T23:49:31.891+00:00I think there's definitely a lot to be said fo...I think there's definitely a lot to be said for simple rules that can be adapted to a variety of circumstances. I think that that might be some of the attraction of much modded rules like TSATF, Command & Colours, Volley & Bayonet and the like.Conrad Kinchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15683395740934527502noreply@blogger.com
