With the talk of different rules this poll may be of interest to some. Hardly definitive, of course, but may be indicative of SoA members (as it is from the...
... It is a significant misstatement to assert that 3.1 is the result of American complaints regarding 3.0. The claim is akin to Boyd Bruce's assertion that...

I agree with Larry about the facts of the case - it was mainly UK players whose calls for change resulted in DBM 3.1. I don't think that comments about...

... Good point, I have heard from several people that had the early development of DBMM been thought more highly of and been seeming to proceed more rapidly...
... Actually the move from active 3.1 players to DBMM is almost much less than that. DBMM seems to have pulled in mostly an entirely new set of players, most...
Yes, Geoff is British. To deduce "anti-Americanism" from his misapprehension shows incredible touchiness on your part. Rather like the character in "A Kind...

AMW has 8 units a side - most units have 4 bases each but some (elephants, artillery) have only one. An Impetus unit is roughly equivalent to 4 DBM elements...
