Are miniatures rules a matter of progress, so that the "outdated" set has no more purpose than a WWII tank on a modern battlefield? Or are they more like hemlines and hats, where everything old is new again? (And what does one make of rules which are like US .50 cals and Maxim guns and seem to defy aging?)
I'm going to go out on a limb and waffle, saying that some rule mechanisms may never really have been good ideas, and that we will not see the return of spring-loaded naval artillery to determine casualties, nor a major revival of the bounce stick. But hang on long enough, and you may well see written orders/simultaneous movement, national characteristics, saving throws and card draw activation rise again, because certain things have to be done or reflected in a miniature wargame, and all the mechanisms have drawbacks.
How say you? Will old rules and mechanisms slowly fade away, never to be seen again? Will they return like a certain Corsican from Elba? Or are there some in each category?
