@admiralandy I suspect that the guy with the King Tiger and elite troops was either a jerk or the rest of the people playing where not used to being beaten that they hated him … Lack of sportsmanship tends to make scenarios like that unplayable and unfun by default.

@onlyonepinman I’d argue that all systems are flawed … we just tend to like the ones that have the least amount of flaws that annoy us or adopt our style of play in a way that mitigates those flaws.

ie : if one doesn’t like the vehicle rules in a game like Bolt-action (or 40k or any other rule/game combo) then there are two options :
(a) play scenarios/games without vehicles (thus avoiding the perceived flaw)
(b) introduce house rules to ‘fix’ that aspect

Of course there’s always the option to not play or to change systems, but that’s not always realistic.

The only real ‘problem’ / challenge occurs when you’re going to a tournament … but then that is a different beast altogether, because the competitive nature tends to bring out the worst in people (at least does for me).
