Sometimes playing without a bunch or rules, army books, and points is actually addition by subtraction.<br /><br />It's also great to see more LA-based role-playing game blogs.christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09650456794111980661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-81000491783759827992009-10-16T21:34:53.347-07:002009-10-16T21:34:53.347-07:00The core of the system is the Reaction section.

It's sort of a morale system, but it also dictates a variety of actions (as opposed to reactions) that can set your troops off in unintended directions. Those actions can in turn set off other reactions from enemy troops, and so forth (the titular "chain reaction").<br /><br />It's one of those deals that doesn't look like much on paper but in play it quickly reveals its charms.David Larkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04133630988557116729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-30260922253098877012009-10-16T21:25:50.278-07:002009-10-16T21:25:50.278-07:00Just quickly scanned the pdf--I didn;t really get ...Just quickly scanned the pdf--I didn;t really get what makes it mechanically very different from wh40k original rules--can you tell me what I should be looking for?Zak Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05443268280676127815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-88329532548003992752009-10-16T21:13:27.441-07:002009-10-16T21:13:27.441-07:00Another one to check out is Chain Reaction, which ...Another one to check out is Chain Reaction, which is available as a <a href="http://www.wargamevault.com/product_info.php?products_id=60015" rel="nofollow">free PDF download</a>.

Simple historical/fantasy wargames where each "element" can represent a whole spectrum of different units, and each element is "worth" the same as any other - you just have 12 elements to your army, period.<br /><br />Barring that, your idea is as good as any version of playing toy soldiers as I've ever seen, and that's a thumbs up in my book (who doesn't like playing toy soldiers? Dumbasses, that's who).Jack Badelairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10932441028544500024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-81783199960152838182009-10-16T14:59:09.624-07:002009-10-16T14:59:09.624-07:00(*Just googled the phrase "warhammer 40k with...(*Just googled the phrase "warhammer 40k with my girlfriend"--one result.)<br /><br />there's a surprise!Ragnorakkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03812860633134547618noreply@blogger.com
