I still think it is a unique and interesting approach to putting out a set of WW II rules.<br /><br />I suggested to Mark today that perhaps he could release the combined form in print and just the main rules as a PDF. Then everybody could be happy...<br /><br />JerryJerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01136161897406749538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7388986403517716204.post-83372211967415241132010-03-26T08:43:47.960-07:002010-03-26T08:43:47.960-07:00For WW2 a lot of scenario books already exist, the...For WW2 a lot of scenario books already exist, the Skirmish Campaigns books or the TFL books.<br /><br />I think the CY6! model of the core rules, some common units stats, and a few scenarios is a better approach for another WW2 game in a crowded market. <br /><br />Sort of a promise that I can just buy one book and add supplements if I desire rather than having to wait and see what rules get released in which scenario book.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11879024685511863699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7388986403517716204.post-65930081124238848822010-03-26T08:31:09.083-07:002010-03-26T08:31:09.083-07:00Mark,
