Subject: Lots of good stuff snipped.
Lots of good stuff snipped. I truly enjoyed this game. A good tight complex, dangerous power armor and characters from the GZG list. What could be better. I think Rick was surprised at Pvt K'rrt Wassermans first move...Even though the hall had been cleared by about 7 troops he used one action to move in to the first corner he saw and the second to hunker down into overwatch. This is typical of Pvt Wasserman and I was glad that my teamates allowed me to "role play" my troops a bit. As I see it, if I die but in character I have won. If I win but have to act gamey to do it then it is not as much a victory. I did not like the random activations. I think Tom is right, it would have slowed the game to allow us to discuss. Perhaps a 20 sec rule, and your team leader elects who to move. If he cannot decide then you loose an activation for that round. The problem with random activations was manifest in the upper corner where we were trading sporadic grenades. Initiative there allowed us to move troops forward and barrage them with grenades while poor picking kept them from getting thier troops split up. (Not complaining mind, just wanting more control). Again, great time and thanks for all the hard work. On the ride back Los and I were having a major palaver about next year and some missions etc.
