What is, in your experience and opinion, the most balanced game?

I avoid games that are ‘balanced’ in regards to tournament competition rules. I want to play toy Soldiers not indulge in zen like meditation over the most optimum list.

I prefer a game that has a narrative and sense of warfare more than a competition. With historical games, balance is less important. That doesnt mean it doesnt exist in a game… just not in the way most assume. It can be achieved in many ways.

Any game inherently designed to be a ‘tourney’ game, I dont buy. Not my thing.

Have you ever play tested a game, gave feedback and if so, did it change anything? Tell us!

Yes… literally my (part time) job with Battlegroup and NorthAG. It changes stuff all the time. We write and playtest, at times to remove balance… sometimes you want to skew things one way or the other.

Has any update, errata, rules update totally broken a game for you personally? If so, what was it?

Not really… see answer 1 above.
