Tackling The Quirks Of The ADLG Mega Table
Posted: Fri Nov 19, 2021 10:00 am
Art de la Guerre the rule set that reads well & looks so simple but has all sorts of gremlins under the hood.
Been sorting out the combat factors today and tried to add some database rules for a lookup table. You know the sort of think where similar things are in the same column. That's 4 hrs of my life I won't get back. Grrr!
Also surprised to find they use a botched hierarchy that they don't define properly and then proceed to ignore it altogether to group random troop types by weapons to fit into a one page master table.
Also found that 90% of factors read across the table row for that unit except when fighting two particular types where you have to look at the opposition as well.
Even found a shooting factor tucked away in the combat factors. WTF!
No wonder the rules won't stay in my memory.
