| Matt Clausen with the excellent response! I thought about it only from a tactical me vs the computer standpoint but you brought up other ideas which made me rethink it all. I think the AI could potentially be used to improve gameplay experience in the ways you mentioned. What if the AI were programm... |

| Fatigue was done 0 - 9 as well if that's what you are hinting at. It made things a heck of a lot more interesting sometimes. I'd love knowing if anyone ever did a full analysis of one system of fatigue vs. the other to see which caused the faster accumulation on average of fatigue. In my mind it fel... |

| Column Melee House Rules If I had to guess, and this might be confirmed by some old timers like Ned Simms, DW Mallory, or Mark Nelms, but I bet that when the HPS version of the games was released that many people played the game in Turns. This is poorly named, I know! But in "Turns" each ... |

| (Night Rules) are intended to stop the forward movement of massed units during the night. I'm sure my opponent doesn't want dawn to arrive and find that I have a Division or Corps on his flank/rear, and I certainly don't want him to do it to me. If you think about it, it's kind of silly. Wasn't the... |

| This is a legitimate concern. Imagine if WDS was able to (someday) create an A/I opponent which had all the skill of a human opponent.
