Why if a computer game is purchased at considerable cost is a "house rule" needed as mentioned many times in this thread? In my current pbem game, very graciously, my SU opponent is playing with a very restrictive "house rule" during "The Blizzard", are there any other recommended "house rules"


In the day of cardboard and paper our most strenuously enforced houserule was no liquids on the game table. Especially after the Great Tea Flood of 1941.

And turn off the fan when bringing in a table. The Great Hurricane of 1983 ruined a game of Gleam of Bayonets.

My cat once ate the entire supply line of a German army about to take Kirovograd.

Put my Victory Games Civil War mapboard on the stairwell railing back in the day when I wasn't playing with it. Cat decided it was something she could walk on. Board, counters, and cat all disappeared like Wyle E. going over a cliff. We were finding counters in odd corners for months.

Agreed. Several of those Victory Games were very good, but would have been hard to computerize for PBEM due to the impluse nature of them. Vietnam is one I still have that I wish I could play.
