I'm going to wilfully misinterpret the statement above, and
restate it to try to kick the points value thread in a slightly
different direction.
What relatively good point systems do people know of that could
provide a useful reference... for writing point systems for our
beloved GZG games? Or games in general? What have you seen and
liked (in part if not in whole)?
Also useful would be any system that spruces up a pick-up game
where players can bring a pre-generated force to an unreferee'd
game and arrive at something less than wholey bland.
So far as example we've had Heavy Gear, Armati and DBM. What
else can people throw into the ring?
...Also, since Stargrunt currently has no points system, maybe we
could start writing one for that...
