Honestly I think we (as RPers) are at this point where chit-and-hex and Napoleonics were in 1973 when rumors started to abound about this thing coming out of G&K/Tactical Studies Rules ...

Napoleonics - I think I read about it in a brief history of Avalon Hill games or some such..that was in a boxed set I bought in the 80s..
Well - pencil and paper might be limping along the stragglers straggler among electronic devices etc-
sort of like the sabre at the advent of the repeating rifle. Today automatic weapons are of such capacity that the designers of the original repeaters probably wouldnt believet it. But swordfighting is still an art - and the sword is still carried in some respects..Meaning an iconic thing will not disappear that quickly.
I think I will be able to rustle up a few players 30 years from now when I retire..loads of FtFs up ahead
