QuoteThe tips of 00 brushes are a lot bigger than they use to be. :o
That's to maintain pace with figure scale creep.

QuoteBlocking Special Rules - some of this is about knowing what counters what - but it can be very annoying when this is sprung on you mid game, especially if you play a number of different systems, so don't / can't recall all the options for your own troops, let alone those of the enemy.

My very specific peeve with what I call "blocking"  isn't really about paper / scissors / stone situations.

It's the rarer situations where a unit enjoys complete immunity, or similar, a completely reliable "Ignore one hit/situation".

These aren't always bad.
But they often combine badly with game mechanics to create unintended super troops.
Things like that Tank that only dies after four hits (when all contemporary ATGs can only inflict three hits or fewer).

People who stop in doorways to put their brolly up when it's raining.


People who stop at the bottom of the escalator while they work where they want to go next.
