Re: Prussian Needlegun

--- In Piquet@yahoogroups.com, "Bryan Unwin" <bjunwin@...>

Reading back over my last post, it looks like I was ranting against non-
points based games. That's not really my position, as I've had plenty
of enjoyable games like that. I was actually trying to make the point
that I disagreed with a previous post that said you *can't* have
enjoyable games like the Austro-Prussian one using points.

Crawling back into my hole now :-)

Bryan

No problem - I hadn't taken your post as criticism; hopefully my response didn't come across that way. I'm actually finishing my 1859/1866 Austrians (I know, I...
