It gives us realy good games, but there are still quite much rules questions as the rules arn´t that cleare in all perspectives.<br /><br />Have a realy nice weekend !<br /><br />best regards MichaelDalaupprorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05292614404943521842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830353542180186213.post-8026284879065874052013-09-19T20:20:26.569+01:002013-09-19T20:20:26.569+01:00May I ask what you don´t like about the game, and ...May I ask what you don´t like about the game, and what are those holes?Milo Burghhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09874386687073685709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830353542180186213.post-85926658118618640882013-09-19T16:48:21.687+01:002013-09-19T16:48:21.687+01:00Stephen - glad to know it's not just me.

I think you may be right, but we could never quite agree on what was intended or work out a satisfactory compromise.<br />David - glad you are enjoying your games. The campaign system is great I agree and that's what kept us going for the five or six games we went through - but alas it wasn't quite enough for me.TWDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09921046811399998400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830353542180186213.post-75578919913950672972013-09-19T12:54:25.590+01:002013-09-19T12:54:25.590+01:00I'm a big SAGA fan myself but I must admit Dux...I'm a big SAGA fan myself but I must admit Dux Bellorum is surprisingly enjoyable too.moocihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08565153512420382233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830353542180186213.post-42204645523753752372013-09-19T07:43:13.226+01:002013-09-19T07:43:13.226+01:00It is the campaign system that makes it work - the...It is the campaign system that makes it work - the rules themselves aren't anything special but I have enjoyed my games so far.

I think it would be OK if you and your opponent are prepared to wing it. Although there are plenty of discussions and some clarifications on the TFL yahoo group, the blog doesn't have much on the game. Maybe it isn't a big money spinner for TFL and doesn't justify the support?Mitch Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12350383975066929417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830353542180186213.post-82452769367788232082013-09-19T06:44:59.147+01:002013-09-19T06:44:59.147+01:00I'm afraid, we came to the same conclusion, To...I'm afraid, we came to the same conclusion, Tom.
