Re: [GZG] New Campaign

[Doug Evans <devans@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A topic I warm to...!

I'm a little unclear about strat moves and pining, but I think it may be
merely because I'm not clear on how you are playing. Do you have a 'real'
map, and folks take turn in moves, or are the moves pre-plotted? If
pre-plotted, I should have thought you'd have to break down moves into
phases/impulses.

When I've tried to set up campaigns, the players get really picky about
working ways to screen this or that asset; is this in your ruleset
somewhere?

Love the point about the rules are to allow battle; some of my players
seemed more interested in avoiding unless precisely evenly matched.
Suicides may not be particularly fun, but I've seen well played forlorn
hopes, and think they should be lauded.

By the way, in the forum section concerning 'Flotillas', would you add the
suggestion that a single piece can be the flotilla, and still give target
selections if the flotilla elements' positions are in view off table space?
I think I was working on something similar, with a large divided hex so it
was easy to determine which ship was closest to which fire arc.

PS I understand your frustrations, but really like most of the freeform,
make up as you go, nature of FT. Efforts like yours(kudos to your whole
club) give layabouts such as I plenty of ways to chose from. ;->=
