Its a relative / moving gaming scale – aka arbortary distances.

Now what I mean by that is that there is no time frame for an order so therefore there is no relation of speed so distance people move is flexible (think the difference between a T34 and a KV1, but both move 9″ an order in game).

Also weapon ranges … a Lee Enfield rifle has a…[Read more]

The problems with woods in games are old, as old as modern wood farming post WW II.  It starts with wrong ideas about woods being a light problem for movement and vision.

Modern men are used to the cleaned industrial woods of today.  Hardly any undergrowth.  Like city parks.  WW II was fought in old style woods.  Some thick undergroth was norm…[Read more]

Well, You gave te answer yourself.

“…..for years and year…”

I’m lucky, even with 60 I need no opti…[Read more]

I get it. You want the players to work it out before the game. I can understand, for example, working out whether a section of wood is heavy (dense) or light (?) but the actual rule which governs how the wood affects movement and LOS should be standardized within the rules.  At least in my opinion, it should be. I have a historical scenario that…[Read more]

The same terrain can be played differently game to game, this is why you have to discuss terrain before the game with regard to effect on LOS and effect on movement.

“This area of trees is a thick forest, it’s dense terrain (LOS) and rough ground (movement)”
“This area of trees is an orchard. It’s soft cover, rough ground for vehicles and…[Read more]
