You are deciding whether to play it safe, go all-out, or make that hail mary pass, with risk & reward corresponding to your choice in the situation. If we're gonna talk sim, Position & Effect is the most simulative RPG mechanic I've encounted, by far, in terms of character action. The two often correlate (Controlled ▶︎ Limited, Risky ▶︎ Standard, Desperate ▶︎ Great), but that is by no means a necessity. You can be in a Controlled situation and set up for Great effect due to coincidence, clever setup, useful assets, and more, for example. In fact, controlling the circumstances to improve your Position is a big part of play.Edit: Fixed a typo.</blockquote>
