I'm writing this while playing a very different type of game on Vassal today. Lots of spectators, so I explain that I'm new to the game at the beginning and still learning the rules. My opponent is good about it and helps me out. My problem however lies with all the spectators ...

These things happen in any game, and we notice them especially in the ones we love the most. Somewhere in between the fluff and the rules (and the case of a miniatures game, the model sculpts) things happen that just don't make sense. Just look at the Nomad in Mk I as an example. Every ...
