Fooling around with 6th Edition WRG

[fastolfrus]

I must admit I didnt try 4th. I was introduced to 6th in the early 80s and then went back to 5th later but not 4th!

I started on 3rd and went on to 4th

I missed this thread originally.  I love 6th and still have it, but I have no one to play it with me.

Its a lonely furrow and I only play solo these days

which had some interesting mechanisms in it

Well, we are in North Metro Detroit, if anybody is interested in playing and lives nearby I'm sure we could work something out.

I started with 4th but keeping up with the times was important back then so followed the crowd to 5th then 6th. 7th was a "bridge too far" so it was back to 6th. Then in the 80/90s we tried every new set that came out but nothing stuck (aside from DBA which is an interesting game but a different animal altogether), most were unsatisfying. Hail Caesar had a bit of a run but interest in Ancients waned and we played a host of other rules and periods. It is only recently that my friend and I have begun playing 6th again. I almost enjoy building armies almost as much as the playing. I know full well that this is really just a fancy version of chess (imagine if you would Hannibal calling up Rome and saying "Hey, I have 1500 points worth of troops, would you lie me to drop by, Thursday maybe, around noon?) but it IS fun.

Nice.  I'm a little far but this is very tempting.  I don't suppose you guys ever come to the Chicago area gaming cons?

[aphillathehun]

Why do I find myself fiddling around with army lists?

[macsen wledig]

Because that was half the fun of 6th!!!!
