Cyrus the Great	11 Aug 2018 12:00 p.m. PST
If they appeal to me…yes.
Ferd45231	11 Aug 2018 12:32 p.m. PST
Wait! There's been new rules since Tractics, Empire and Johhny Reb? Holly balls of waste products! I feelso out of step. H

Vigilant	11 Aug 2018 12:41 p.m. PST
Depends on what they are for. These days I only usually buy rules after discussion amongst my gaming group unless they are for something specific that I want to play and isn't covered by any rules I like already.
Doug MSC	11 Aug 2018 2:05 p.m. PST
Nope. Happy with our home grown rules.

No. I'm not an early adopter of much of anything. I like to let the market shake the kinks out of new technology.

Garryowen	13 Aug 2018 7:09 a.m. PST
Very, very rarely. I must confess I have a prejudice against new rules as the great bulk of the ones I play seem so "gamey" and unrealistic. Tom
