You bought a game. Something isn't quite making sense. How do you prefer figuring it out? 1: Go to a general wargames forum. 2: Go to a forum or mailing list for the specific game or company. 3: Email the writer directly. 4: Download an FAQ 5: Wait for a new version 6: What does he know anyways? Just make something up. 7: I'm a special snowflake. |

First stop is a forum search here but I find an awful lot of help and guidance from the BGG board game geek site aswell.
Also a good place to find cheat sheets and reference charts to make gaming easier.

Find out the designer's phone number, and call him at home at 11.30 on a Friday night. Happened to me once. |

0. First, and foremost, clear, unambiguously written rules, wherever, and whenever possible. |

Mako "Shots may receive a +1 bonus to hit, except in certain circumstances" The rules then proceeded to never explain what circumstances did or did not get the bonus. Actual example from a game I read many years ago. Oddly never made it to our table :-) |

A lot of what is above But will also ask fellow gamers I am trying the rules with – Occasionally deciding on a temporary solution to finish a game and then looking for an answer – or perhaps a new rule set |

Ask about it on TMP. And get half a dozen different interpretations and/or best guesses, plus a few suggestions about other games systems you should try instead. |

"How do you prefer to get rules help?" By reading the rules carefully. |
