Value for Money

Post by philqw78 »

A section for each of

Siege
Scenario
Campaign

It would be worth buying then instead of reading someone elses. And I'm sure these were promised to me a couple of years ago.

Phil - I know you may have seen this but Nik's accurate Red Pen got to it before the rest did.

Siege Rules - It took the Greeks 10 years for the Siege of Troy, so 2 years wait is not so bad... :)

This might not be a popular view...but I really am not all that interested in campaign, siege or scenario rules and their inclusion or exclusion would have very little impact in my perception of value.

I think campaigns are something that are so specialized to individuals groups and their preferences that their inclusion is of limited value.

Sieges are not something I think can be handled well by a conventional battle set of rules, the scales between the armies is too far off, the time scale of sieges is not something that is particularly well matched with FoG in general (IMO).

Scenarios are a bit iffier, I could take them or leave them.

What I do think would be useful to include are FoG compatible weather and night rules which would help with scenario design. These IMO should be optional (and not recommended) for tournament style games but are pretty valuable for scenario building.
