Shoot & Scoot

[Gordons HQ]

No further discussion is needed from me, there are more historical games out there.

In all fairness.

While yes, it is a game, there are those of us who do try to make the most of what we have to make it the "best" historical simulation for platoon level tactical combat.

This is apparent in the countless hours that are spent on map making, scenario design and playtesting. Scenarios from such designers as Don Fox, Huib Versloot & our Mr Guberman a ranked high in historical accuracy and playability. I recommend them to anyone and everyone.

Is the game perfect?... No.

Are there flaws?... Yes.

Are there better ways of doing things?... You bet.

Does it matter to those that have spent a decade trying to keep the series alive?.. Not at all!

Like all things, it is what you make it. Some like it as a beer & pretzels game, some like it as a tool to recreate battles they studied or are interested in. Others like a combination of both.

Jason,
You and your teams work has been really appreciated and I believe the game is much better than it was thanks to your efforts, well done there.

There are flaws and the game is not perfect it is true.

I really did not mean to discredit those who struggle and work many hours, sometimes long into the night. They are producing as historical as is at present possible to produce scenarios. Once again well done there all of you.

They deserve our very best respects.

The sole idea of this discussion no matter what others have insinuated was to point out what some of us believe to be an overused unhistorical tactic. The overuse of this is I believe caused by one of the flaws in the game.
I think that it is up to the Matrix team to evaluate the ideas this discussion has brought forth. If they also find fault here then I am sure they will attempt to remedy it.

From these ideas surely the game can still progress without destroying itself as is often feared here.

I wish you and the Matrix team good luck for the future with all your efforts to improve the game.

Cheers
Gordon
