Well, there's enough problems with PBI 2006 to warrant sorting it out, just to deal with the contradictions and poorly worded rules. If it means adding more complexity, I'm not interested. I still like PBI2 more.

I prefer to dabble, which means that I never quite get all the nuances.<br /><br />The Peter Pig rules (RFCM) always have something different and original in them, so you should try them. PBI is a complicated game, - or rather there's a lot of detail in them. Joining the RFCM yahoo group is essential if you are trying to play them from scratch.Trebianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02221916804339000102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615782020735321095.post-27078661101892083672013-02-15T20:48:49.009+00:002013-02-15T20:48:49.009+00:00Aparently once the viking rules are finished PBI i...Aparently once the viking rules are finished PBI is in line for a re-write.<br />One change in the new viking rules (which are based on 6" squares like PBI) is that moving units have to roll for the square they are moving into rather than out of. Doesnt change troops moving from one jungle square to another but does make it easier to leave jungle to an open square. I take it you are grading some jungle as 'partial' rather than 'closed'?<br />I'm looking forward to the re-write. I think it will be interesting what emerges!<br />SeanSeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13326904214624189171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615782020735321095.post-49791260923531231672013-02-15T19:45:20.608+00:002013-02-15T19:45:20.608+00:00T: The closed terrain movement modifications worke...T: The closed terrain movement modifications worked well and gave the game a more believable narrative than simply relying on the "sneak move" rule.<br /><br />P: I agree. Which is good as there is no 'sneak move' in PBI 2006 :) <br /><br />BTW, of course, the difficulty of the tank gun to hit anything at such close range is not meant to simulate the difficulty of hitting things, but the difficulty of the crew/gunner actually to _see (target) dug in infantry in closed terrain at all.<br /><br />With the Grant's gun, if you see it you wreck it, pretty much ...<br /><br />Intriguing game, which I'll happily do again,<br /><br />PhilSoA Shows Northhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14181076390844159417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615782020735321095.post-81086695471797003432013-02-15T17:34:27.826+00:002013-02-15T17:34:27.826+00:00It sounds very tense and realistic, with troops be...It sounds very tense and realistic, with troops being appropriately reluctant. I have neve tried any PP rules, but I confess this has me curious to give them a look at some point.<br />Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.com
