I usually tell them up front in my write up of the scenario and tell them verbally, you are not getting any reinforcements. However I never tell them about enemy reinforcements. I don't see a reason to get their hopes up and I don't want them nagging me about their reinforcements. You would seriously affect their strategy and screw up the game and yes there would be some consequences after the game. I just wouldn't do it. No reason to. I could see not telling them about reinforcements they are getting. In fact I have done that before. But I wouldn't do to often. |

ScottWashburn Suppose you are the GM and you set up a game scenario based on an actual battle where one side was under attack but expected reinforcements which never arrived. Is it okay to tell the defending side that they will receive reinforcements in the course of the game and then later tell them "Sorry, I was lying. No reinforcements are coming. Your mission is now to retreat off the table with as few losses as possible". Is that ethical? Poll set up by |
