The points about slowness of data entry / unit identification seem to be the big issue with computer moderated rules. Yes, the rules can take into many more factors and modifiers than typical table top rules - but this isn’t very helpful if you need to input all of these.

I was interested in the Victrix one, as it seemed a much more modern idea. But it was still tedious to pick your unit, and the enemy unit. Given it uses the camera on your phone, it feels that being able to identify the unit is close. But it still felt like a lot of effort to get the result.

The other factor for me is that one of the main reasons I like table top games, is that I like the physical presentation and representation. There is something about a table top covered in terrain and figures that has a tactile value to it. During Covid when we were playing remote games, I was much happier to host the game for the remote players, than to play.

I don’t mind computer games - but they fill a different gap for me.

fantastic style / results 

+++++UPDATE+++++

Firstly can I say many thanks for all the encouraging comments.

After a trip to a local wargames tabletop sale recently I picked up a bargain bag of Red Vectors 28mm Sci Fi doors currently available from Pendraken if anyone is interested. The bag contained six double doors and six single doors so after assembly and a quick paint job I have twelve doors to add to the Bunker Project. One of the single doors had a slight bit of damage on the keypad but once I'd finished painting them it looks like the keypad has taken a bit of battle damage. The keypad and screen add something extra to an otherwise fairly simple design.

Cheers
