In case I came off wrong in that last post Randall, I pretty much
understand
all your points.  I have been war gaming, as I am sure most of you, for
along long time now and I see this sort of thing all the time.	One of
your
main points I think is the crux of the issue when it comes down to it,
is
creativity, and not limiting.  Human beings, and especially gamers :)
are
going to find these odd little loopholes, and they will find them almost
every time.  That's why I always talk about the "spirit" of gaming or a
game.  I loose almost as much as I win when I play war games, but I
enjoy it
almost every time, and I think for me part of that has to do with not
sticking harshly to the letter of the law so much as the idea.
In the area I live I end up introducing a lot of younger kids to war
gaming.
Almost every time, some kid shows up a few weeks after learning to play
a
game and he has an army in hand, but it's all one type of the baddest
miniature you can have in the game, or he has tweaked his army to
ridiculous
lengths.  Eventually though they find that those sorts of games get old.
In this case, I would love to see mobs of starfighters swarming the
table,
that sort of Star Wars feel, but at the end of the day, I think
personally I
would mostly just like to walk away having enjoyed playing the game!
