Just a comment from the peanut gallery....Epictus,<br /><br /> Just a comment from the peanut gallery. My only difference of opinion here is if your going to change the rules or appearance of such, perhaps a "training" game would be appropriate at this time. Attacking in a new way can be disconcerting and a warmup may have been appropriate so the attacker can be comfortable in his tactics. Having said that, playing C and C myself the roles of attacker and defender have always been a little blurry because of the card system. Just my 2 cents. Enjoy the ride, as you have someone who does a excellent job that is usually thankless in it's execution. Sounds like you gents get along smashingly.<br /> Lovingly, GummyGunny Highwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10155454708006381011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-946235325566947321.post-15614527740717433622014-06-22T05:51:14.398-07:002014-06-22T05:51:14.398-07:00Firstly, let me say you gentlemen have a great sit...Firstly, let me say you gentlemen have a great situation going by being able to play a campaign with someone willing to put it on in the first place. A thankless job that Olicana is willing to do week after week. <br /> Having said that,changing the way that one attacks or the appearance of that attack maybe one should ask both sides in the campaign if a training game should be run so both sides are comfortable with the differences. Anytime one has to take it to the enemy I would hope the attacker must be comfortable in the way it is carried out. Anyway enjoy the ride!

Charlie Sweet used them almost exclusively, and was a huge advocate of gridded tables. They certainly do simplify measuring movement and ranges, and eliminate virtually all arguments about field of fire, flank attacks, and the like!<br /><br />Many years ago, Joe pointed out to me that offset squares (which he aptly termed "bricklay") would accomplish essentially the same thing as hexes, while being much easier to draw, and he was right!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-946235325566947321.post-57001065816090599292014-06-21T06:11:44.850-07:002014-06-21T06:11:44.850-07:00Very nice.
