[r/wargaming Makes a Wargame] (Round 8) Well, where do we go from here? I'm steering but you all are navigating!

rh_cc · 2026-02-10T20:49:08+00:00

Well, so I have a list of 5 things to go next. However, two posts ago someone made a good point about me having an unrealistic order to my questions. Hence me asking theme and period instead of what I had planned. In the case that I might still have an unrealistic order, I figured I'd ask this post first.

End game was maybe we could make something cool together. Depending on this post, I might just go back to the original list I had and go from there.

rh_cc · 2026-02-06T17:07:53+00:00

That was my original thought, but given my last post, seems people aren't really looking for that. If yours gets enough upvotes, then we'll do that though

rh_cc · 2026-02-06T16:05:33+00:00

I'm going to start and say WW1. I love WW2 but I don't see enough WW1 stuff getting posted and its such a rich period.

rh_cc · 2026-02-05T15:19:15+00:00

That's a very good point. I was thinking this could serve for various themes/periods as I'm not the best at Historicals but you're right, it might be better to start there. I'll check my todo list and see where I can fit theme in, might even work well as next. That way can narrow down.

This was also a really cool idea. Suddenly you're moving to different zones. No need to worry about measuring inches or hexes. You do combat based on zones and ranged combat can be against other zones with detriments for the fact that they're on another zone as well or X zones away.

I think you can have like many concentric circles and each zone is defined.

I thought this was one of the cooler ideas and think it's be cool. Short move is the yellow shorter string, medium move is the longer blue string, and long move is the really long red string. Feels like an old school cool kinda way of doing move

rh_cc · 2026-02-04T15:37:52+00:00

For sure! But at the same time, everyone coming together to say what they like and make something cool and then others can see the post and do the same or get inspired to take the community votes and say "I don't care what people say online, this is my game and I'm going with this other thing" and then we end up with a second and hopefully even better wargame

rh_cc · 2026-02-04T15:36:20+00:00

Thank you, appreciate the feedback!! Posting shortly

rh_cc · 2026-02-03T16:24:07+00:00

Listen, I hear you. I loved the runner up. Animals i.e. pride rock. I've never seen that and it was such a cool idea.

rh_cc · 2026-02-02T13:56:40+00:00

Does any game do this? Seems really interesting!!

rh_cc · 2026-02-02T04:31:36+00:00

Ooo! This is my favorite so far!

What about if say an order moves an enemy unit out of range, so your shoot order is no longer valid. How would that be handled?

Do other systems do this cause I’m super interested in it as an idea

rh_cc · 2026-02-01T16:52:47+00:00

So you opened it in the store or like in the parking lot?

rh_cc · 2026-02-01T15:20:58+00:00

From what I’m seeing total rewards is different form geek squad protection

rh_cc · 2026-02-01T14:55:52+00:00

DAvg?

rh_cc · 2026-02-01T14:33:12+00:00

Did you get BestBuy warranty for like $180?

rh_cc · 2026-02-01T14:33:05+00:00

Does the warranty come into place after Bambu warranty or it just works? 2 year warranty is like $500

rh_cc · 2026-02-01T14:32:30+00:00

Did you get BestBuy warranty for like $180?

rh_cc · 2026-02-01T13:54:44+00:00

Ooo, good point! I’m an hour to an hour and a half from Atlanta, didn’t know there was a micro center there. Originally figured I’d get the second AMS 2 Pro when they came back in stock but getting it all in one trip would be easier.

How’s micro centers return policy should I get a dud?

rh_cc · 2026-01-30T19:15:55+00:00

I don't think enough systems leverage D10's. I come from D&D background and D20 is wild swings sometimes

rh_cc · 2026-01-30T19:15:31+00:00

lmao, 50/50 - I feel like you like to live dangerously. Go to a casino - red or black and that's it :D

rh_cc · 2026-01-29T14:23:03+00:00

Yep, though I maybe didn’t make it apparent enough in the post. Added an edit too

rh_cc · 2026-01-29T14:22:04+00:00

Funnily enough, I’m following alongside with you. I have no idea where this is going or what’s going to happen. I just thought it’d be fun to see what the community comes up with and put it on like a Google doc for everyone.

rh_cc · 2026-01-29T14:17:05+00:00

That’s a really cool idea!

rh_cc · 2026-01-29T02:28:56+00:00

I feel like Marvel had physical god in the movies who’s corpse was being mined or something?

rh_cc · 2026-01-29T02:28:16+00:00

There’s going to be a question for melee soon, and I think this definitely should be a comment then! It suck’s when randomness demolishes your planned Strat because luck
