Little Wars

The crew and I went to Little Wars over the weekend for some gaming fun. We played a Napoleonics game. Most of the guys playing seemed friendly enough, except one of the guys on my team.

Here's a pro-tip for running a game at a con: I know you have to balance time constraints against explaining a game to new players, but don't just say 'hey you need to roll a 5,' explain why so that the new players understand how modifiers are applied and can adjust their plans accordingly. Being the one bro with an understanding of the rules and how to game them makes it seem like you're just cheating. Also playing to win at all costs against people who don't know the rules is just childish.

OvC out.
