Soak off attacks, love or hate them and what to do?

You said a bad word...RL. :cheeky: This is a game, I have stopped trying to force it to be RL as it is nothing close to the sort no matter what the reviews say. SP use to frustrate me to no end (BS - this would never happen in RL) until one day a big heavy brick hit me in the head and I saw the light....it is a game.

In medieval times, when the rules of Chess were being adjusted to the European mindset, an argument sprang up between the realism camp and the ‘it’s just a game’ camp.

The realism camp insisted foot soldiers (pawns) be able to move 2 squares on their first move, representing the energy of the initial charge. The ‘just a game’ camp saw this as an unnecessary complication.

Realism camp stuck their ideological heels in, while the ‘just a game’ camp shrugged; after all it’s only a game and the rules are the same for both sides…so the rules were changed to make Chess more realistic.

SP is really no different to Chess. Except Chess uses squares instead of hexes. :rolleyes:
