On the other hand the shock mechanic is a very neat way of modelling increasing unhappiness among the troops.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167684119478977136.post-49858052524489945672014-02-07T17:26:08.130+00:002014-02-07T17:26:08.130+00:00A couple of things stand out for me.

I just think it's a brilliant system to simulate how the grind of battle affects troops. <br /><br />The other is the allocation of command points in 'Dux Bellorum'. The system really makes you think about where to focus your points and the fact that players alternate allocation lends an almost poker-like air to proceedings as you try to out-bluff your opponent. Brilliant!GuitarheroAndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12739862408121075838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167684119478977136.post-46862931217562291522014-02-07T13:23:54.392+00:002014-02-07T13:23:54.392+00:00Will McNally's combined fire effect/morale eff...Will McNally's combined fire effect/morale effect in his (free) AWI rules... do causalties and morale effect with one dice.... superb....Steve-the-Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077311120172727690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167684119478977136.post-41658836217978286612014-02-07T01:34:22.731+00:002014-02-07T01:34:22.731+00:00I really like Howard Whitehouse's AlienSuns/ A...I really like Howard Whitehouse's AlienSuns/ Alien War. Squad support weapons are brutal, but Care-Under-Fire is reinforced in the mechanics.<br />wounded and Out-of-Action troops are not removed and squadmates are encouraged to retrieve and tend to them. Skirmish rules, but casualties can wreck plans faster than ill die rolls! Random events shape the combat as well. A lot of fun and tweaking plans on the fly.david bromleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15373599516429004062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167684119478977136.post-75731789397220873922014-02-07T00:35:58.820+00:002014-02-07T00:35:58.820+00:00I'm a big fan of Bolt Action's "Both ...I'm a big fan of Bolt Action's "Both players standing around waiting for the other guy to take his turn before realizing with embarrassment which game they're playing" mechanic aka the dice bag.
