I noticed that forums whipping boy Rinella has formed his own wargame company.

What forums?

Or if you meant the bitchiness, BGG. Where nerds menstruate.

Been reading MMP's HoD rules and the changes they made to the original PB. Looks good and some nice changes. Also downloaded an assload of shit from Imaginative Strategist....again

I've considered it from time to time, but I've never really been interested in it, as--and I know none of you fuckers will believe me--we played the total ass out of PB/PL back in the day, all the time.

My brother had that Arab-Israeli version of PB/PL. As the little, little brother, I got to command the crappy Arab shit. I remember being stuck with PLO trash in once scenario.

FUCK YOU GUYS, I'M GONNA GO PLAY MATTEL FOOTBALL.

My conern is they revamped a whole lot more than was needed in HoD. Some good things in it to be sure. The old PB/PL counters wont transition too well. IMO MMP shot themselves in the foot.

I still like the PB/PL/AIW games alot. While in their stock form they are outdated. But IMO they got a lot of things right. The good thing is their is still a diehard community behind them. A lot of the short commings have been addressed. Imaginative Strategist has a good site for PB stuff.

Yeah, very revolutionary at the time, but a lot of other systems on the tactical/platoon level have outpaced it.  Still a viable game system, though.

Had a ton of fun with that system in high school and college, especially with PL.  So much Brit hardware.  But the AIW game is a blast as well, lots of stuff in there that's still only rarely addressed with more modern Arab-Israeli treatments.

Good points. Too many modules, add-ons and the like nowadays. Seems more a marketing ploy.
