Chess players are power gamers? Anyone out for a simple fun gaming night

is a power gamer?

In a beer & pretzels game if you have more than two things to remember, 
the rules are too complicated. Separate morale rules typically fall into

that category -- if the designer is good enough to weave them into other

rules, it will work.

In any case, DB* games have next to no (separate) morale rules, yet they
are immensily popular with the historicals crowd.
