The spirit of the game...

Very difficult to come up with any hard and fast rules on this one, as what 1 person may consider 'gamey' another may feel is perfectly ok.

Yes, indeed. There have been a bunch of threads in the past on what is or isn't gamey & not much agreement as I recall.

You're always going to have those that buy unrealistic unit picks, (those 6 crack King Tigers), but these are manageable by setting ground rules.

I agree, unit purchase is not what I would call "gamey" even though it can make for a short and unenjoyable game if he's got 6 Crack KTs on an open map with one flag. And of course, he won't have much infantry if he spent all his points on those KTs. So I don't view that as gamey.

Sending a 50mm mortar who's out of ammo on a suidical advance just to draw fire and locate the enemy. That's gamey.
