Is the "a bit like To The Stongest" comment based on:
 a) they're both Ancient "period" rule sets
 b) they both use grids

or was there more to it, Sean?

A "bit like" insinuates that it is based upon.
Similar to "lord of the rings" is a bit like "Harry Potter"?


I remember being in Derek's Record shop Bournemouth . "Band on the run" just released.  "Hey, Paul Mc Cartney was in another band before wings!"


Nothing I can do about it but not a huge issue.

The insinuation of "a bit like" is that it is derivative?
Lord of the rings is a bit like Harry Potter?

RFCM rules are probably not a bit like much else.

I agree, Martin - RFCM rules are different in many wonderful ways.

I think the comment made is more a reflection on the commentator's exposure (or lack thereof) to RFCM (and indeed other?) rules than anything negative about C&K per se. Which I think we here all agree are a jolly fine set of rules to fight the kind of games we like to play?

Yes, I don't imagine any slight. But again it's as if squares were invented elsewhere and that C&K is following that trend.

I'm more than happy to plough my furrow playing RFCM games because they give me all I want. I see Peter Pig as a trendsetter rather than a trend follower and long may that continue.
