After reading more and getting to know not only the period but the period feel in game terms, I glad we switched to KK. <br />We've said it many times, I like playing rulesets that force you to play to the period and give you an advantage in playing to the periods historical tactics. KK fits this into the ethics perfectly. Who would want to play 7YW using Napoleonic tactics or visa versa?<br />Great post Rich!Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6854237464827265411.post-1544041126836956492022-03-19T06:49:46.347+00:002022-03-19T06:49:46.347+00:00You are right Lawrence.

Sometimes we do need to see something concrete on the table for all our efforts and dice rolling.<br />I wonder if some rule writers give those advantages as their only way of explaining (or interpreting on the tabletop) how those armies were so dominant in their time.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00576080338405462943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6854237464827265411.post-43614064171095108892022-03-19T06:46:35.317+00:002022-03-19T06:46:35.317+00:00Thank you.

I do not recall what caused me to move away from them. Now, "Honours of War" is my favored set of SYW rules.<br /><br />With multiple bloggers taking these rules to the table of late, I ought to pull KK off the shelf and give it another look.<br /><br />Thanks for the refresher.Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.com
