Re: Suggestions and Advice Solicited!

G'day Allan,

Its how we teach out kids (mostly Lachy as Janneke is still a bit young 
concentration span wise) to play any wargame. After the first few games 
Lachy starts to want to do things with less talking but every now and
again 
he still likes to have a game where we talk things through more.
GZGwise, 
it works really well for SG and DS and its OK for FT so long as the 
experienced players have written their orders before we start discussing

options and ideas with him. Its been interesting seeing which ideas took

him a while to pick up (usually things to do with command and control
and 
using cover) and what came naturally (converged fire, grand batteries,
fire 
lanes). He's co-opting his sister into games on the lounge room floor
now 
its school holidays... Lachy's version of SG troopers (his SG squads vs 
Janneke's masses of bugs, snakes and worms) may not be completely true
to 
the GZG vision, but the influences are very obvious ;)

Cheers

Beth
