As others noted in the original discussion, I'm not sure that 'fun' is quite the word I'd use. I am always interested in game mechanics and how these are implemented, but also, I do like reading army lists (especially ancients) to see how various armies are represented in a given rule set. |

I do still read rulebooks for fun--but not current rulebooks. "Charge!" was fun. "Lion Rampant"--though a nice game--was no fun to read. "Not any more" was the best I could do. |

I used to struggle through the often poorly written efforts of yesteryear: Empire? etc However, many modern efforts such as 'General d'Armee' or 'The Men Who Would Be Kings' for example are lucid, detailed, often humorous & clever in their mechanisms. so, yes, I read modern rule books for fun. |

Sometimes: but more commonly army lists. |
