v4 Rules & Mechanics Discussion

[unipus]

When FL announced that they were going to relaunch T2k, they said that they were going to tweak the game but keep it in the alternate history setting. As such, they implied that they were going to update the 2.2 rules.

Well, seems like the problem is immediately obvious just from reading that one paragraph. They didn't imply that, you inferred it. You read something that was never written and pinned a lot of false hopes on it. No wonder it doesn't live up to your expectations. But that's not on FL.

In any case, I get the definite impression many here haven't actually even thoroughly read the new edition, or at least certainly haven't played it. Some aspects have needed development or haven't even existed until this week. But the combat system alone is an example of something I've seen people complain about over and over here -- while somehow praising past editions. In actual play? I've found it consistently generates results that resemble reality, and reward the side that applies real-world tactics to fix, flank, and finish the enemy. And, while still being a little slower than I'd like, it's definitely much faster and more fluid to resolve than prior editions.
