[QUOTE="Mongolia_Jones, post: 7585690, member: 6991581"] Your profile says Biloxi, you must have grown up here and moved away. I was looking for a new game, as I am waiting for Savage Worlds edition upgrade to trickle down. After reading enough different systems, you can gauge an authors ability to critically think by the way the core system is designed. That is where I was disappointed with every game I recently read like Warhammer 4e, Zweihander, Coriolis, Symbaroum, etc. I stumbed on WOIN, which was a surprise as I thought I had heard of every system out there, how did I miss this. I downloaded almost all of the Gold and Silver ennie award winners and was especially disappointed with those. But I understand the value of the ennies is not to necessarily to showcase a great system, but to keep interest in the industry which had all but died by the 90's. Anyway once I read WOIN core rules you can tell the author (Morrus?) knows what he is doing, unlike many authors in other games, especially the games that get a re-boot from an older to newer edition by a new author who did not invent the original system. The author of WOIN thinks like someone who has played war games in his past and probably he has a better understanding of the way real combat (small group vs small group) works over most others. This process has taught me to follow the author as a few are more gifted than others... [/QUOTE]
