"'Go Back' or 'Stick With' Rules Editions?" Topic

Vaguely surprised that FoW isn't on the list.

Can't think offhand of a minis game or RPG where I'd actively prefer an older edition. I have always preferred the orginal farmer rules in Carcassonne.

Fire and fury brigade

General Quarters 1&2

I agree FOW should be on the list. The last change cost them most of the players in my area,

Command Decision; Test of Battle (CD4) was the jump to FOW scale. The 'stick with' is CD3.

None of the above. Who am I to dictate what rules or edition people should use?

rmaker: The question is what are YOUR go-to rules you'd rather like to play. No mention to dictate anything to anybody. You must have misread the premise.

2e BattleSystem, mass battles, based loosely on 2e AD&D RPG rules. Great fantasy mini's game. Has everything covered, including the kitchen sink.

I am in the, "enjoy the game, let the rules fade into the background," camp, though. I like playing my favorite rules because I know them so well, they tend to fade into the background, so that I can enjoy what is happening in the game, without being bothered by the rule mechanics. YMMV. Cheers!

My others: General Quarters 1&2

so interesting that there are so many different votes for so many different games.

also that so many people feel the same way as i have without me ever talking to anyone about these games.

Of the rules I play on this list, my opinion is later editions are much better. So I voted none.

Fire & Fury Brigade, Saga, Bolt Action. Never seconds.

I liked the original version of Armati.
