An offshoot of the Renegade Games possible Acquisition of the rights to Squad Leader.
I am glad that they didn't get the rights to SL. If there ever was a reissue it should have massive input from those who loved that game. I am obviously in that camp.
All that aside I have been trying to figure out a simplified way of preserving the essence of Squad Leader while making it a game that appeals to today's gamers.
For me it was always the mechanics of the game, the Sequence of Play, that made Squad Leader different from other war games that I had played. That's vital.
The reissue probably should include miniatures as that seems to be popular. Would that require DASL or RB sized hexes?
I also think some Up Front style obstacle cards would be cool.
Just some thoughts. How would you preserve the flavor of Squad Leader in a reissue for the market these days?
