FIVE FORKS tried this ,i believe ,and many buyers were disappointed with either the product and/or time it took to receive it. don't expect many to welcome...
A good idea, and perhaps I am being a bit cynical here, but the publishers are not terribly interested in keeping the price down, only keeping the profits up....
It may be neccessary to consider "rebranding" under another title given the Five Forks debacle. Maybe a new title like "Eagles to Glory" might be worth ...

Grant, Using the original Avalon Hill rules, I've played about 12 times without running into rule glitches... Was there a reason for the re-write or was it...
A re-write is impractical from the standpoint of acceptance. For your efforts, would many people use them? The old rules were not going to be re-published by...
with all the different clubs / opinions / viewpoints let alone the conventions where you must have an official or standard set of rules , your club/group will...
Dumbing down the rules is not a good idea. The rules are simple enough as it is. Any more simplification would indeed result in a dumbed down and unrealistic...
In my opinion, the need for a current standard version is one of the best arguments for a new edition. I will take this opportunity to repeat my preference...
I agree with many who wonder why a second edition (much less a 3rd) was needed anyway in view of two facts: 1. the first edition was very well written, very...

I agree 1st Edition was very good indeed and more or less fully supported by the scenario books. By all accounts 2nd edition was a disaster and I am glad I dod...
Essentially I agree. I have played napoleons battles since my first son was born. He is 15 now and has painted both British and Russian armies of his own....
The rules were not a disaster. They did great things with the amendments. I do not agree that there is a need for medium cavalry of divisional artillery....

It's different if it's your choice. 6mm on the same size stands as the 15's would make a great look. But to be told by the authors that they changed the...
I really am looking forward to a new edition. I think it would go far to kick start NB gaming again. I too do not think the rules were a disaster though the ...

Brian I take your point on the issue of large battles like Borodino which are probably a good candidate for 2mm gaming anyway. On the other hand I suspect most...
