RE: Rules I realky like in PG
This might sound really silly, but about 30 years ago (this was pre-PG) I had an actual sleeping dream about a "perfect" wargame. It was a Panzerblitz-like game (but not Panzerblitz) with tons of scenarios and maps, whose play was sheer elegance. It was so vivid that when I awoke I searched my game shelves for this "missing" and provocative title. Alas, I found nothing that even came close my apparition. For some reason, the memory of this dream stuck with me over the years.
Then, about 2 years ago, I found Panzergrenadier (Elsenborn Ridge to be exact). I kicked it around some, both FTF and solitaire. I was thoroughly hooked and immediately added several other titles. I don't know when it hit me, but I suddenly realized that PG was the game I had imagined years before, and was the one I had been searching for afterwards.
It hard for me to isolate any one or two specific things about the system that I like, accept to say that playing it is a nearly "perfect" gaming experience. It is quite literally "a dream come true."
I really do have a life, you know...
