Sounds like KoW probably isn't for you. You appear to be more interested in something with reams of rules and arguing that point over actually giving the game a go.

Also, I've just looked through your posting history and you appear to do this sort of thing a lot, and have started a LOT of quickly-locked threads.

I'm done here.


I have literally no idea what are trying to say.


I'll break it down for you.

1) OP asked a question. Many of us answered in a quite friendly manner. Even if you consider the OP a troll, it's not necessarily a bad thing since most of our posts were friendly and explained the positives of KoW - which is good for new/other posters who might read this thread.
2) OP keeps arguing the point that the rules are too simple, and how can they be any good if they are simple? People reply, citing examples like X-Wing, etc.
3) OP keeps arguing the point that the rules are too simple, and how can they be any good if they are simple?
4) I check the OP's profile and posting history and read through a few. 385 posts and started 51 threads. That's a pretty high ratio. I take a look. 11 of those threads are locked. Again, that's a pretty high ratio. I read through some of them and I see the same nonsensical kinds of questions and "but whyyyyyy???" answers to sensible answers given, mangled grammar and punctuation, and quite a lot of people across quite a lot of threads responding that the OP is a bit of a serial troll. It's also entirely possible that the OP is very young or simply ...as clever as their writing suggests. Maybe all three.
5) I decide I'm not going to feed the troll any further since he keeps going back to 3) rather than appearing to actually be interested in KoW.


Oh, I wasn't sure who you were talking to [OP seems confused]

Kow is considered to be a very good game by many.

Lots of rules add complexity but complexity does not equal a more tactical game.

KoW also seems to have much more balanced rules - with a lot less random stuff complicating the tactics. (Specifically - no random charge distances! If I were to point out one rule that explains why we don't play WHFB anymore... that is the rule.)

The Auld Grump

*EDIT* I suspect that the random crap in WHFB is there to help level the field for casual players vs. experienced players. If your opponent can regularly plan his charges accurately and you can't then random charge distances favor you.

KoW handled this by allowing folks to measure before declaring charges.

The reason I bought rules and became a real wargamer was because I wanted a properly thought out structure to govern the action instead of just making things up as I went along.
