Thanks very much guys. Im new on the geek. I've been interested in FOW for a few years but never really had too much time to play (4 games so far). I decided to play a solitaire game to get to grips with the rules. I'm finding them quite easy,intuitive mostly and gets the job done a lot quicker than all those old rules I used in my teens (tractics,WRG,Featherstone). I made all the terrain myself, you can never have too much terrain.
Jim, I certainly meant no disrespect to Mr Featherstone. I of course would'nt be playing either if it was'nt for his "Tank battles in miniature" game rules. I unfortunately lumped the early game rules into one pile as an aside to past rule usage. I'm sure you understand, being a mature gentleman only 11yrs my senior.
