My copy of Tractics arrived this morning. It has an ...interesting... lay out. Need to read it to see if the text flows better than it looks like it will. Also giving strong thoughts towards buying the just charts book and rendering it into pull out sheets in sheet protectors for actual game play. That will be in a bit regardless. As I read and digest it I'll be posting updates. Thing to remember, this is a 50 year old set of rules. The state of the art for wargame rules as progressed quite a lot since it was first published.

My significant other just lost her shit at the TV while watching archaeology on the science channel. I was sitting quietly in the other room when I heard her yell at the TV. "DIE, YOU MORON! DIE!" I went to investigate and it turned out that the narrator was speaking of an ancient die from a game but called it 'a dice' she didn't actually want him to die, she was just offended at him confusing singular and plural then yelled, "I REFUSE TO WATCH THIS LEVEL OF STUPID ANYMORE" it seemed he had also offended her sensibilities in other ways then she switched to a true crime show "I AM GOING TO WATCH SOME NICE WHOLESOME MURDER" at that point I carefully retreated, wary of inadvertently calling her fury down on me O.O I love her but there are times it is far safer to leave her some room so she can calm down in peace.

There are a lot of "documentaries" that make me say that.

I've read the new Tractics. Direct fire mode is as complex as I recall. Moral is weird. Artillery is complex. Modern rules are a bit iffy. I'm planing on covering modern vehicles to at least the level of coverage as German vehicle get. If and when I play this "for real" I will want to have the "pull out" sheets as their own book or as actual pull out sheets in a binder. Going to read it again later today.
