[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 3877655, member: 22779"] Lots of things don't show up all the time but are problematic when they do. How often did you see aerial combat in your games? I almost never did. Yet, I can look at D&D's aerial combat rules and see pretty clearly that there has to be a better way to do it. How often did you have ship to ship combat in your games? I had quite a bit but, that's because I ran a naval based campaign - something of an outlier to start with. Didn't take long to realize that the Arms and Equipment Guide rules for vehicle combat are worth a pot of piss when dealing with ships. Heck, there's all sorts of things that I haven't personally seen in my games. Does that mean that everything that doesn't crop up should never be changed? Couldn't it possibly be that changing elements might make them more likely to be used? If we had decent ship to ship combat rules, or rules for small scale battlefields (say up to 50 combatants), we would likely see them in the game. "It's not a problem since it doesn't come up" is not a reason not to fix something that should be fixed. [/QUOTE]
