Have default optional rules changed?

[phoenix]

Christmas cards - virtual or real - are terrible for the environment - you're better off doing without them, David. From someone who I trust is part of the silent majority you reference, I can only scratch my head in mild puzzlement when I see this discussion (because the number of optional rules, the explication of them [which might take some searching for] and so on, has never even got near my horizon of 'issues'...I have other pet hates, of course [hexes...], and to each his own, as Mr Grumpy says...) I would just say have a great holiday period, you're doing a great job with these titles. You're unwaveringly polite and helpful, an example to anyone posting, or indeed, managing updates and upgrades to someone else's series of games!! The recent PC graphics updates, plus one of the best engineered set of scenarios so far, I think (comprising Schedlt '44) have been an excellent seasonal gift for me. Have a good break!
