What has happened to Montrose? Has he fled south to join the King at Naesby? Cheers An eager Parliamentarian. This communication and the information it...
We will now have the satisfaction of protracting his defeat a little longer... You're mean! But beware, I fight my best games when I've already lost!!! Chris...
I know this is not a primary purpose for this group but I've been thinking about what needs to happen next in terms of this hobbies organization. Organization?...
... It hit me the other day that the military strategists of the present administration are viewing the world like the old TV Cartoon "GI Joe". Actually, the...
I don't think Matrix games lend themselves to competitions (just as RPGs don't). And I don't think pure matrix games are the best way to widen the audience. I...
Howzit all, I will be out of communication for two days. Back on the 8th. I will reply to any Royalist thrusting then. Cheers H. This communication and the...
The real problem - as always - is the liberal media. ... The war in Iraq is challenging politcally. We have power - enough to turn the country to a plain of...
... Here I disagree. I was born during Truman's administration. I've been gaming since JFK's time, mostly miniatures but dabbling in other stuff too. I dropped...
I tried out the miserable failure search and was amused with the result. Thank you for the laugh. I was only born during the JFK administration so I should be...
My view is that you will never have much of a market for Matrix Games per se, as they are too easily dispensible. I think that most of the gaming population...
It's really sad when the U.S. treatment of POW's reads like something out of a posting of the either the old Matrix game group or Alt.sex hierarchy posting. In...
My fear, however, is ... Marcus you are right. I realized a few years ago that the MG rules are dispensible. So I reduced them to a comic book at the front of...
I think trying to compare us to Saddam at this point is irrelevent, he is history we are the new Saddam of the Middle East. I hope we are not that bad! In a...

My fear, however, is ... Making a balanced, playable matrix game with defined victory conditions is difficult. And I still say that for competitive games MGs...

Chris, I think the problem here is the same problem with people who offer simple products that work brilliantly the public does not take it seriously. I don't...
One obviously can run competitive MGs. Thrust and Parry rules are specially geared for a competitive game, but we have also had successful competitive EMG...
This war is seriously over and we have lost. Points well taken. It's like the TV commercial where the guy is sitting in his truck talking to his dog who is...
Maybe we should look at giving the referee something to do besides judging arguments. I don't think people mind a refereed game as long they don't have to do...
This is essentially what I had in mind as a tournament. Each round of the tournament is a game session with the one player moving on to the next round....
Why do terms like straw men & hollow men suddenly ring so many bells in the mind. Conrad was writing about a colonial power, and in America we seem to have a...
"Competitive" gamers want games of skill. The problem with the current matrix game model for competitiion is that the gamers rely too much on the ref's...
