Re: CRUD armies

One of the times I changed one side's orders part way through a game,
the
two players of that side got ticked off and accused me of not knowing
what
the heck I was doing as GM of that scenario!

I do have a great computer font, called Top Secret (I think) that looks
like something a really crappy printer would put out. I've used that a
couple of times to deliver briefing material to one side or another.
It's
legible, but not terribly clear! (This was freeware from some website -
no
idea where, though.)

Some people seem to be entirely too used to having entirely clear-cut
objectives & intel, and think you're jerking them around or being a lazy
GM when you refuse to spill every detail before the scenario starts...

It's this response that's restrained a couple of my more RPGish scenario
ideas, really.
