Sometimes I have trouble remembering which version of battle-back and retreat rules apply to the game I'm playing at the moment. Other than that, though, I enjoy the familiarity when switching from one to the other, as well as different experiences conveyed by each.Davidhttp://www.purplepawn.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7799357743004909192.post-41617250244046055312009-05-16T01:13:00.000-04:002009-05-16T01:13:00.000-04:00Yes, I agree it can be a problem, in injecting a v...Yes, I agree it can be a problem, in injecting a very powerful random event into the game, but I believe that taking it out robbed the series of some of its soul.Spinozahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18435059857767122781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7799357743004909192.post-90279472911761388482009-05-15T18:38:00.000-04:002009-05-15T18:38:00.000-04:00Some people regard that card as a problem card and...Some people regard that card as a problem card and it has not appeared in the other games.Seth Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12206653100499935990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7799357743004909192.post-7704113418176873342009-05-15T18:23:00.000-04:002009-05-15T18:23:00.000-04:00Interesting, because although I believe that the a...Interesting, because although I believe that the ancients one is a superior game on the basis of realism, I have always found that Battle Cry was much more exciting than that or M44. The existence of the "All out Offensive" card (in conjunction with the corresponding reversal "do what your opponent just did" card) made for very tense and exciting scenarios. Some scenarios were unwinnable for one side or the other though. The action in M44 is more controlled and thereby less fun, IMO.Spinozahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18435059857767122781noreply@blogger.com
