Again while agreeing with you Jim I would push your dates to end of 90’s for miniatures rules

I don’t think simple automatically means it isn’t good .I think DBA and it’s popularity has s good tactical depth to it given what it tries to represent

I do think these days too many companies put the quality of the rules behind the figures and as all the tokens and cards you get with the game. Saying that it has happened in the past with Star fleet battles

Maybe the internet is part of the problem. Too many sites and blogs social media show a new game and and start shouting from the rooftops that this is the best fantasy/sci-fi/historical game ever. Well it is since that one they reviewed last Tuesday.

Games seem to have to fight now for their 5 minutes of fame before the next big  thing appears. . There doesn’t seem to be as much slow grow and traction with gamers that games used to have

 

But maybe I’m just getting old but there aren’t to many games out there that I see flashing up before me on the interwebs that interest me at all any more. I’m sure there will be exceptions. I do hope so
