firing at hex with multiple targets

[PawelM]

Hi Hawk,

Thanks for sharing your opinion. My intention was to probe if the change would be welcomed. So far it seems the proposal in any shape would not fly with too many gamers.

Is everything perfect. No. But the game has been here since 1996. Says something about the game engine.

Agreed. But does it mean any proposals for modifications should be dropped? It would we a pity if a game could not evolve. This would mean it is unlikely its lifetime will be extended as it will not appeal to new gamers.

The randomness would not have to implemented as I proposed. But I feel one could select the primary target of their choisc and any unused firing SP could go towards firing at next secondary target of choice. So no "randomness" is necessary and it can solve the issue I highlighted.

And the last thing, your post did convince me not too carry on actively encouraging people to join in the discussion ( if someone will pick it up again I am more than keen to carry on discussion). It is not because you asking to leave the direct fire alone, but because I feel we are starting to go towards personal taste. You clearly say yo totally understand my point, but like the direct fire as is. I do not want to go the route of personal preferences as I feel the discussion looses the merit and is taken over by emotions. I think good example is EA which although implemented -then changed as optional rule- was warmly welcomed by some and hated by others. Again EA off or on assault rules are still an abstract of a battlefield. Better or worse - personal tastes aside - but it did not stop it being implemented.

Thanks to everyone who took time in sharing your thought and comments and if anyone feels they have something to add I will be happy to renew the discussion
