Yes i really miss all of the unique rules these older games had to offer. Like the j1 kill everything rules, or the allies paying for oil rule in europe. Convoying was wayyy beter in these games, but the problem i have with it is that its not an attack. Maybe we should have the ships roll dice and whenever they hit, the other player loses money, ON THE TURN OF THE AGGRESOR! The problem i have is that by the time its the enemies turn, they have destroyed you fleet that was blockading you convoy. Having it be an attack would fix so many issues when it comes to convoying.

Wow! I am flattered! Thanks for the vote of confidence on the articles. Really, I prepared the essays hoping to get more players interested in the game, so that I would have more opponents.
I still have 1 or 2 more essays ideas to finish but have been too busy to complete it. I’ll try to get to the last ones in the next few weeks.
