Can You Please Help Me Out?

[Sgt Barker]

Having played for a while now I think I know an answer. Time and taking the job seriously. It just takes time to play a game like this. Figure at minimum 10-20 minutes a turn. More if it’s big and/or I’m taking some notes (is that sad? “I/45th Arty  Ovrigogo” so I don’t forget, again, to get the bloody unit in range, and that sort of thing). Being old, employed, in a family way and with all the rest of life competing, play time is at a premium. And playtesting, done right (which any who volunteer for it in PzC will want to do), is even more time consuming than a regular game. Nobody wants to do it and come up with a simple “Great, loved it.” Or worse, a criticism that is bogus, based on something missed by the tester. To be valuable a playtester wants to contribute, and that takes thought and time.

I praise to the skies those of you who contribute to the game by putting out scenarios. It’s the life blood of a wargame like this. Lack of playtesters is a drag. I blame society. :hissy:
