"Air War (the board game). Takes a half an hour of real time to play about 30 seconds of game time." Same here. Has anyone ever figured out the cone of fire rules? -TJ |

DB anything, known affectionately to some of my gaming group as DB Bollox. Funny though the half of our group who don't hate them, love them. Go figure P |

I've only played one rule set at a con that I would never play again. I cannot recall the name, if it even had a name, but it seemed to be so modified that it was a home brew anyway. Seven pages of charts for an AWI game is not conducive to easy play after one turn despite the host's insistence. Even though I do not remember rules, I do remember the host, and I avoid his games. |

Anything by Newbury I recently decided to play ancient naval again after a break of many years. I seemed to remember playing Diekplus – one of the lads at the club had a set and brought it in for me to have a look at. I saw the dreaded 'Newbury' on the cover and immediatly started to tremble. I averted my eyes and in a deathly whisper said .. put them away … put them away … if I look on them again I may have to give up wargaming for ever…. A slight exageration perhaps but I have vowed never to play any Newbury rules ever again. Tercio sucks as well |

DBR, Tercio, WRG. Thankfully some great rule sets have come out in the last few years covering the renaissance. |

Anything using the "warhammer" system": too many rolls for a simple result; and I hate stat charts for troop types. Earlier, I tried, really I did, to play WRG, and could never connect to a game where a figure shares a base with other figures. I'm too wedded to "a figure is a figure", i.e. fights like ONE GUY. I know the scale is company of 30 to 100 guys down there, but I see ONE figure in line with others, and the fight has to reflect that or my mind goes numb. I can't stand any other airwar game but ours, for abstraction reasons: the aircraft has to behave literally, and in full three-dimensions, or I might as well play "Dogfight" (MB) I guess what I am saying, short version, is that the gaming industry hasn't made much money off me over the years, because I would rather play my own rules, no matter what the period or genre. 1066.us |

Final Combat. I played (or attempted to anyway. . . ) this rule set at a con once. It is the only game I ever walked away from. Too many charts, too little action. |

I'll try most things once, however I have read some sets of rules where I lost the will to live after a couple of pages. Anything which takes longer than half an hour to set up for a club night game? (which sadly precludes a lot of recent RFCM games). Naval games which require you to track the fall of shot of each shell and have turns measured in seconds. Yes, I have played Fletcher Pratt (once in a Victorian ballroom), what a dreadful set of rules, which just goes to show I really will play any old rubbish just to be polite. |

It makes me petty, but anything with, what I consider, to be a stupid title. You know the sort of thing; Nuts, 90% of the lardies output, anything with 'Panzer' in the title.
I'm not saying its justifiable, it's just my own stoopidness. John Oh, and Empire! |

Geezlouise, I opened this thread AGAIN and didn't remember that I had responded to it already. Boredom will do that to you…. |

Warhammer and Warhammer 40k (especially since I watched my one friend destroy my other friend's SF tank with a hammer). Would never have thought about it unless it was posted here but Newbury Fast (ahem) play anything. And Piquet as well. |
has lost everything.
