R2E UPDATING & AMENDMENTS YOU HELP NEEDED
Posted: Wed Dec 14, 2011 11:35 pm
It has never been the intention to go to a second edition of R2E so from that standpoint rule changes were only ever going to be made by errata.
I know that some players have issues they would like handled slightly differently and to that end we actually have an opportunity.
The Crimean supplement FOUR EMPIRES will update and modify some key mechanisms in line with military evolution between 1815 and 1854. This has already been written. In addition there is space to update existing mechanisms which can be detailed as errata and amendments in the context of the Napoleonic version of the rules.
To help your thinking there is already a standing debate amongst regulars at R2E weekenders about the FIBUA mechanisms and the disadvantages to Defenders and the relatively light casualties of successful attackers. I am empathetic to reasoned argument that will improve gameplay so here is your chance..
If you have a gripe, a suggestion, a question, a theory, new research which would evolve R2E in some way let's get them up here for some open debate before we go to print.
Never say that as a rule writer I don't listen to the suggestions of players! Very happy to take on board something logical and robust that improves the overall quality.
It was very gratifying to hear recently that the EASTERN WARS SUPPLEMENTARY RULES FOR BLB2 have been endorsed by gamers in Dumfries. Many thanks go out to the persistence of the US playtesters(Arizona Chapter) who made me do something with this... your work chaps.. well done!
So, R2E players.... present! fire!.............
