It's never been cool, but then again it's never been uncool either. It's just another rules mechanism. |

I've been through many game mechanics and found that IGO-UGO within a phase (ie I move you move/we both shoot/we both melee) works the best without all the headache of some of the more clever game mechanics out there. |

It's s mechanism and it works. I do not have a religious attachment to it, but it seems some have a religious taboo to it. YMMV. |

I prefer modified IGOUGO Lion Rampant for instance. Or I move, you move. I shoot you shoot. Etc. |

I give the player the choice of Move First/Fire Second or Move Second/Fire First in the IGOUGO system in my rules. Usually you want the first fire, but there are times when the first move is more important in order to execute a charge or change facing/formation to defend against a charge. |

UGO-IGO has never been cool or will it ever be Cool. There are far better systems and in the two big games that are mentioned it can mean… IGO and U-Lose or UGO and I-Lose Which is why it has never been cool. |

Whatever the rules/period/scale requires and produces an enjoyable game. |

I'm with Mithmee on this topic. If I want IGO/UGO there are chess and checkers. |
