the Random Events table... - Shad - 06-12-2012
I haven't had this come up in my games too frequently, but the few times it has my (occasional) opponent and I always eagerly rolled on the table, despite knowing full well that the result could catastrophically change the battle.
I would never use it for competitive play, but if you're just having a friendly battle I enjoy the added element of surprise.

I voted Huh? only because I'm not at all averse to using them, I just haven't yet. Seems like it could make the games pretty fun.

I like these tables, they only come into play rarely, and add a lot of variety to gaming situations. A good idea since way back then when the "Chance and Community Chest" article was published in the General for Panzerblitz.

"Nope, never" for me. I find more than sufficient randomness with the vagaries of the combat tables.

I love adding the unforseeable to the mix.

I loved the Random Tables in the first PG-EF. In some of those infantry vs. infantry battles things can get really spicy when suddenly an armor/infantry kampfgruppe shows up or maybe a company of T-34s or both...
...good times!

I enjoy the unpredictability of them. I had one scenario which combined with the random events table indicated that Romania got cold feet about crossing the Dniestr.

Fog of War rolls give me all the randomness I'm looking for. I might use the table to add extra replay value to a scenario I'd played before.
