Which Rules to Learn, 3rd or 4th?

[The_Gekko_State]

Not sure if I should post it here or the rules section.  But I recently, finally, got the Eastern Front and Road to Berlin in the mail from a gentleman on reddit.  They are both 3rd edition rules but I know 4th edition is out now.  Which is better to learn the game with or is it better to just learn 4th?  Thank you.

I would definitely say 4th. They are available as a free download from Avalanche. They don't make huge changes to 3rd Edition (although some important ones), they are mostly a cleaning up of 3rd Edition from user Feedback. 4th Edition really isn't any harder to learn than 3rd Edition, IMO, and provides a better playing experience.

Ah okay. I did go ahead and got the 4th just incase. I will start to read them.

You should incorporate all my mods too.

Where can I find those?

I was honest just trying to be a little snarky, not really wanting to confuse a new player. If you are truly interested, you can find our modified rules & charts over at What We Play, Redux.

Ah okay. No worries . I'll stick to the man rules then.
