Subject: [GZG] SG game setup and GMing advice
SG game setup: I try to put cover every 8-15", depending on how busy I want the board. Remember, an average move is 6-7". So making most cover two moves apart (or one good combat move) seems to work well. Too little cover leads to a dig-in-and-shoot style of game. GMing advice: 35.) Never ask a player the time. In "Devil is in the Details", I asked for the time (having left my timing unit upstairs). Joel Frock generously volunteered his watch, which read 6:24 pm. I thought we were later, but I realized Joel might have been from a time-zone away so I assumed it was 7:24 pm. It was actually 9:24 pm, as we discovered at the end of the game! Joel's watch was 3 hours off and he didn't bother to mention that.
