Reply To: 3rd vs 2nd

Thanks for all the replies.

Sounds to me like it’s becoming a bit more “gamey”. For me, 2nd captures very well the desperation of men being pinned under fire and the gradual gains being made here and there, with so many (even small) decisions having significant consequences. None of the online games I have watched for 3rd seem to capture that at all. It seems just so erratic. They might as well be space marines in WW2 uniforms. Maybe I’ve not seen the right kinds of game yet.

Perhaps it will  go the way  D&D did, where the best earlier versions were continued under another guise,  leaving the official version to become an ever more politically-correct game suitable for  the easily-offended. Perhaps a Bolt Action 2.5, with the best of 3 added back into 2?
