After considerable additional research by numerous people during and after Arnecon this year, I am scrapping the idea of using Totten's Strategos as the basis for the combat system for Midwest Fantasy Wargame. Math nerds will cry. Normal people will rejoice.
Also received confirmation that I largely got it right with how Hoyt played the Medieval Fantasy Braunstein at DaveCon.
"But what will the new combat system be? " Stay tuned. I think I have figured it out -- finally. It's a lot closer to Chainmail than Strategos. Keep those d6 dice handy!
