If you push your troops as far as your orders will allow, it can mean the difference between victory and defeat. I like that about ths system.Disgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-41262277342805748582016-11-27T19:37:36.388-05:002016-11-27T19:37:36.388-05:00Darren,

I will say that my first game was inconclusive and took a few emails with the author to get some things straight but all in all it delivers a fun game.Disgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-79495604201749264302016-11-27T19:36:42.312-05:002016-11-27T19:36:42.312-05:00Glad you enjoyed them Jack.

I just would like to make some kind of player aid that articulated the steps with bullets or short sentences (like on a QRS). Lots of text.<br /><br />Yes it was a fun little game. That's one of the things I like about HOF. You can have a good game with a few units, or a ton of units.Disgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-40505844820807856692016-11-27T18:38:01.073-05:002016-11-27T18:38:01.073-05:00It sounds like you took the appropriate risks in o...It sounds like you took the appropriate risks in order to exploit the capabilities of elite troops.

You're gambling on how many men you can get into contact with the command effectiveness etc, rather than worrying about moving 6".<br /><br />These rules sound great. Must try these out, and a great narrative here.Duc de Gobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10668407600014604176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-17883472249763185012016-11-27T10:35:43.377-05:002016-11-27T10:35:43.377-05:00Good stuff again, Steve!

I played two assaults and both went easily, but they were also lopsided affairs.<br /><br />Good game, even if you did end early.

Previously i had played without the chit draw just to get the hang of the rules. I think the assault rules are fine it's just alot of text in the rules for what is a pretty straightforward and linear process. Im going to make a play aid for future games i think that would help me immensely during melee, assuming my troops live long enough to make it there!!<br /><br />Okay good to know regarding the boss. I was trying to figure out if it somehow curtailed the orders process or if a "lucky" PL got the job!<br /><br />These are a very nice set of playable and exciting rules and are a refreshing change from what's currently out there.

If you only added up units per side, it would cause the game to be very short. Dale made the same mistake, so thats another thing I need to go back and make even more clear. I'm bummed you found the assault rules more complicated since the goal was to make them more streamlined!!! :.\ The consequence to a dead company commander is the extra chits pulled and also not having that extra leader on the table to re-roll hits, help rally, etc. It otherwise doesn't effect C2 in any other way (currently). I'm looking forward to your questions and suggestion! Thanks again for your help in making the game better!Retrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02453452754260568196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-49602972567966135682016-11-26T19:55:16.233-05:002016-11-26T19:55:16.233-05:00Even the Band of Brothers didn't win them all ...Even the Band of Brothers didn't win them all mate!<br /><br />Sounds like an interesting rule set.
