There are plenty of forums (fora) where gamers and designers discuss game design.<br />A simple search for game design or wargame design will locate a few.<br />Usual disclaimers apply to any kind of internet discussion: Plenty of smoke and heat - very little light.<br /><br /><br />I've recently encountered granularity problems down at the fashionable large skirmish level of game.<br />Rules that insist both units complete their melee and back off negate a lot of standard tactics.<br />For example: I'll attack them in the front, and you hit them in the flank.<br /><br />It doesn't help when some elements are near-invulnerable super-troops.<br />It takes me back to childhood games with Airfix and "Only tanks can kill tanks" rulesets.SteveHolmes11https://www.blogger.com/profile/17392212343858957364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2039878527317652203.post-86104991657612320852021-12-13T08:40:48.847+00:002021-12-13T08:40:48.847+00:00Well, thank you - glad you enjoyed it!Well, thank you - glad you enjoyed it!ChrisBBBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13522334377353504659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2039878527317652203.post-1105661258415846422021-12-12T21:37:50.053+00:002021-12-12T21:37:50.053+00:00very much enjoyed this.
