[Ruanek]

@FieldMarshalGames:

8. Thou shalt have thy Purchase ready when it is thine turn

That’s a bit iffy.  It’s great for a fast game, but with newer players or with a nation that’s greatly affected by the nation immediately before it it’s impractical.  And the only way it helps is to keep the game shorter, which doesn’t affect victory.

10. Thou shall not be timid attacking as the allied player.

11. Thou shall attack thine foes with the USA as soon as they are able to do so.

18. Thou shalt not cry about unrepresented tactical matters (e.g. effect of good commanders, the difficulty of wooded terrain, etc) in a strategic board game.
19. Thou shalt not criticize the lack of political details (e.g. late German mobilization in 1943, unrepresnted meglomaniacs, etc) in a simple boardgame.

[Mountaineer]
