Oh boy, another great discussion of the nuts and bolts of miniature wargaming. Love hearing the pros go deep into these subjects. Thank you boys, keep it up!

Nice discussion - interesting and thorough. Good to hear your thoughts on the pros and cons of the different systems.

Writing activation rules was something I enjoyed the most next to crafting dice mechanisms.

This channel is amazing! Getting the insights from actual established game designers is so valuable! I have a combat system I love and a move/attack phase that is very fluid, but I haven't been able to figure out how the activation phase will work. This helped!

Super interesting discussion guys, thank you! You've got a new fan (and you may have spawned yet another tabletop games designer wannabe)

I enjoyed this one a lot and liked the summary of the three high level groupings of types of activation, which I agree with and the comments on KoW and its lack of need for opponent engagement (so pure in fact that the opponent doesn't even roll their own morale tests!)
