[split from DIY Counters] zovs - "What to start with in PG?"

[vince hughes]

Zovs,

The reason I mention your ASL background is because I was a SL guy and there are some rules within PG you need to read carefully in order not to fall into using SL / ASL rules whilst playing PG. I and I am sure some others have begun to read a rule in our early PG days and have perhaps assumed what it is 'going' to say rather than what it did say.

A very simple example is the Recovery of units (Rally). After adding the leader's modifier to the platoon's morale, they have to roll 1 LESS than that number to effect a stage of recovery. However, on morale checks when under fire etc, the unit will need to roll the SAME or less to pass.

This was an error I made with my first play.

That all said, my main opponent and I still have the vocab as a very interchangeable mistress when playing: Such as Flee v Rout or Recover v Rally, so some habits never completely disappear. :-)
