Optional rules question.

[Mr Grumpy]

Ok this keeps coming up, we hope soon that Dog Soldier will have an article on this subject to help new players out! :)

To answer your question each title (except Smolensk) has a set of default optional rules which were put in place by the designer, as a rule of thumb if you don't fully understand what effect the different Opt rules have just stick to the default ones. ;)

When you set up a game there is a "New scenario dialog" box, on that is a "rules" button that will display the Opt rules, on that box is a "default" button that sets the default Opt rules for that title.

All new/inexperienced players should be aware that some players can use the non default Opt rules to skew a scenario, but also some players use the Opt rules to try to balance a scenario up!

If you don't know what they do, don't use them.............
