Very interesting! I've been playing (and designing Matrix Games) ever since Chris Engle wrote the first issue of EGG (Expeimental Games a Group). |

This is very interesting. In my line of work I deal a lot with the Cold War and this system maybe the ticket. |

Rallynow, The Matrix Game is one of the game systems being used by a number of governmental organisations as a planning/training tool. |

Played a Brit Colonial Matrix Game run by Chris and thought it was quite interesting. Ran one at my local club -- most thought it too hard to think up 'arguments' and 'reasons' on the spot, but the more creative among them loved the free form of it. Still remember one argument about how his Brit unit "charges and captures the small artillery piece" because: 1) My officer thinks it's within charge range, 2) the men are angry because it's been annoying us and picked off Private Percy, and 3) the gun will look good in the regimental museum. That last one got a good laugh, the unit wasn't that far away, and the player rolled high enough to do so. Of course, I made him melee the gun crew, but that was quickly done. Today, that gun is indeed in the regimental museum (of my mind, anyway)! Carried Chris' Experimental newsletter on MagWeb and found the issues just as interesting as the game. |
