RE: initial thoughts and questions

<t> While I understand the dev wanting the focus on tactics rather than a spreadsheet - how on earth does he expect new players to understand their unit's capabilities in the game setting? This is not reality, it is a game system with game rules. Knowing the top level parameters is essential to a ...

One point to consider is perhaps a descriptive "tooltip" or an "?" info button to get a brief description of the content. The 3rd party dev can add a para of description when submitting the content. This will make it easier to ...

RE: Not that anyone probably cares, but....

Thanks guys, your support for this game has been great. You and the CMANO devs are my sort of game devs. You need to move onto a new chapter with this guy though - look forward to expanding the theaters this engine addresses.

RE: If Red Storm was ported to a board wargame, would you play it/buy it?

Board games are dead.

The last one I tried was the Lock n Load games. Beautiful production values compared to the older SPI/AH games and interesting mechanics, but the same old hassles....set up, pack up and lack of opponents.

RE: I hate FPC:RS

T-shirts with counter art on them are always fun.

If enough folks get them, an upscale game is possible. As the units are reduced the shirt size gets smaller until the person playing the unit can no longer breathe...oh well it sounded like an interesting idea at the time.
