Crunchy peanut butter is better than crunchy rules.

Empire! That defines Crunchy!

I took part in this poll and was a bit bemused, as I've never heard the term crunchy used to describe wargame rules. I'm in the UK, so maybe crunchy is more of an American term?

NB crunchy peanut butter is definitely better.

Crunchy what tankers call infantry.

I think that's "squishy", but I could be wrong.

Smooth peanut butter!!! ya heathens!

The question is any possible answers are 'mushy.'

phssthpok is correct. The Tankers called us Mechanised Infantrymen Crunchy's. And we affectionately called them DATs. (Dumb Ass Tankers)

Crunchy is any rules that are too complicated for your taste.
