I disagree as my experience was with seasoned wargamers who saw 4e as a wargame within an rpg.

It was more of tweaking the party to be in tune with each other and fight as a whole. Having played in multiple D&D Encounter sessions, I watched parties get schooled because they were not a cohesive fighting unit. I played on teams that were tuned/cohesive and they were much more successful...

I've always seen 4e as closing the loop - back to Chain Mail. 4e is a tactical set of combat rules. Players must be engaged, studying the map as the players have chances for interrupts and reactions. 4e (IMO) is not for the casual role player - designed more for a wargamer.

As I am going to make the plunge when released next month, this is very useful information. Thanks MoonSong!

See below - a downloadable compendium that covers all 4e monsters, etc. No piracy links, please.

Made me the person I am today. Helped me get through a less than ideal home life growing up. I've made a lot of friends over the years (many who I still game/communicate with), helped shape my thought process, values, and goals in life.

While you did not show any disrespect towards me/my posts, I applaud your apology. Many people cannot/will not admit when they've crossed the respect line. You are a gentleman.
