I fall into this category. Personally I hate the whole points thing. I
prefer to base my scenarios on situations. In fact the ones where one
side is up shit's creek are far more interesting to me. When My friends
and I play we pick some ships ("I want the shiny red ones!"<g>) and go.
Or we play a scenario based on a story I want to write. It's how well
you play with the forces that were given that matters, when we play.)
Besides, none of us play THAT much that we know what the hell we're
doing anyway. Right Kurt? <g> For us, half the fun is writing the AAR
afterwards, ALWAYS a requirement.

Yes I don't know about other wargaming clubs, but at ours, this is how
everything is done. It's amazing the size battles you can get done in a
short time, BUT it does require that someone does the work ahead of
time.

Ahh yes, it's funny how when you are young, you come to the absolute
realization that you know EVERYTHING. But when you are older, you
realize that you don't know anything!BTW, I enjoy the occasional E40k
game.
