This is another case of (very) poorly written 1980's era war game rules. Given that we no longer have to cut printing costs, it would make *A LOT* of sense in this case to not precisely recreate the original game, instead displaying an engine chit.
Ksnake, I'm pretty sure you've never read the rules from things you've said. I might be an old fart, but when the original came out, I felt the rules were particularly well done. When a question would come up during play you could find an applicable solution in the rules. Personally, I've always felt that a large number of board games as well as computer games fail big time due to the poor writing of their rules. BM was never a game I put in that category. There are still a number of things the gamemasters have not integrated into this simulation. I think they'll be hard to do but we'll see. |
