It's time to place RW on the shelf and forget about it. While very pretty (I retained its board), its game mechanics are very unrealistic. It was nice in its day but there are a few far superior WWI boardgames now.

I used to play it, but as wolfenbill I put it on top of the shelf and it is getting dust.

There are several more games that are quite better... expecially because they use contemporary movement. Or at least a decent initiative system (as Dawn Patrol). As I said in another thread, you can have a look at

Actually, the Avalon Hill magazine "The General" gave an expansion set with ryles for RW, with contemporary movement and special manoeuvres. Interesting, but I was already playing other games so I did not use it so much.

[If there are what are they? I have RW and I quite like it. I am a wargamer and we are looking for a better set of rules either figure or board game. Any suggestions?
