It depends on whose shed your gaming in and the mind set of the group doing the gaming. Are we going to advance onto the table and run through some manouvre or are we going to set up in position waiting for the flag to drop, do we have a plan and orders or do we feel like playing a general advance and biff up game tonight.

Does every game need to be historically accurate in it’s approach, does the mood of the group need to be taken into account? Personally I like plans and orders with a manouvre element, great scope for cock ups and bucket loads of “zen”.  Thankfully we don’t game like that at every gathering because a general advance and biffo game is most often a lot of fun…..

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel
