Tricky to get hex hills to look good though, I find!

Apart form being a great game C&C is also a great resource with scenarios for most of the major battles of antiquity which convert easily into scenarios for other rule sets.Cyrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13186074313046292554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7386336651732048473.post-75226580620318745852014-02-06T07:28:35.814+09:002014-02-06T07:28:35.814+09:00Great article, and so cool that you've been pu...Great article, and so cool that you've been published.

As you stated, very fast-play, and clean results. What I wonder is if the hex-based system allows for terrain such as hills, etc. I guess so - as long as their hex-based.

I own and play the other C&C games, but I know this has some differences, and I hate having to learn new rules by myself--it's always better to learn them from someone.<br /><br />Best regards,<br /><br />Chris JohnsonChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05091296131481416326noreply@blogger.com
