IA vs PG: distinctly different games?

[treadasaurusrex]

The 2nd edition IA rules are a disorganized, poorly-written mess that makes the game difficult to learn and often, very frustrating to play.

Care to give some examples?

Will send you the gently edited rule set for IA that Chaco and I created and a number of the Beer & Jolly Foils contributed to over the years, on another channel.

This edit was shared with Dr. Mike in 2021. There are plenty of examples of poorly designed, typo-heavy, and nonplaytested rules for you to feast on.

Oh, and losing the crossfire rule from the 1st edition IA rules was never explained. It did make for much less close-range, urban assault, die rolling as others have hinted at.
