Just a short ramble about my first try with FNG 2nd Tour: link

Nice setup. This is for very small actions I'm guessing. |

Cool Darryl, love the table, and I may have to take a look at FNG. V/R,

He didn't learn much during his first tour. |

Maybe he was a POG first tour? |

Nice looking table and figures. The AAR suggests that there were no morale checks. After losing two out of four men, I would expect your side to withdraw, in good order or not. |

Matt – fairly small actions. I personally would not want to run more than a squad. It is all about keeping your figures within groups, but as this game was small the groups seem to break up quite a bit. As for morale, it is built into the reaction checks, based on the situation one is in. For example, one might be taking fire, and if there is a man down as a result, the outcomes are far more detrimental. There were plenty of duck back results, in which a figure or group has to find cover within 6", basically goes prone, and has to spend have the next action getting out of a prone status, if desired. But overall, morale seems to be a lesser concern within these rules. |

The 2-Hour system is excellent. My go-to system for any period if a skirmish is what you're after. Once you get the hang of the game you can run more troops but not more than a platoon at the absolute largest. I have seen games run using the system that slow to a glacial pace because there is just too much on the table. Discipline is the key. You don't do Ia Drang with this rule set. Stick to a squad while you learn the system, then *maybe* a bit more. |

Thirding (fourthing, whatever), About the half-platoon is the ideal spot from our experience. |

Hrm… sounds like FNG would make a good system for LRRPs, SEALs, and other Special Forces raider types. |

Indeed Lion, check out the FNG: Unconventional Warfare supplement for 1st edition. Works easily with 2nd without conversion need. |
