And what happened if someone did complain?I mean, just taking the weapon speed and weapon vs. AC rules, there are distinctly better and worse choices/tactics in AD&D1 combat. Players experienced with those rules could plan actions based on those numbers as presented. Some of those numbers in those charts are not minor bonuses/penalties.So I could see a point in a complaint that an *official AD&D1 tournament* wasn't following the *official AD&D1 rules*. I could see Players being disappointed and even upset that the official book rules were being thrown out in an official game.I have read, many years ago, a thread on another board were people were giving their convention anecdotes, and the DM not following the rules as written was one recurring theme. But that thread was during the AD&D2 era, about AD&D2 (and other, non-D&D-based) con games.Bullgrit</blockquote>
