I am not new to wargaming but still to MeG. I repeatedly tried to study the rules, but text arrangement hinders an easy reading.
As with all other rulesets, you cannot play with the reference sheet only, you need to understand to mechanism, terms and definition behind. And these must be written and structured in an easy and clear way. MeG rulebook is by far not.
You cannot only leave the rulebook at home and play with the QRS, as you say, as long you are not an experienced player (and even those have to read details in the book).
Rule study is for rookies an huge challenge:
- Chapter structuring: for example when explaining the shooting, better describe the basics, then troop specifics, then the exceptions.
- Book text looks very overloaded, reading is tiring (in particular for non-English-mother-tongue readers), and confusing - use clear separations and more logical enumerations.
- The Errata, as part of the rulebook: The release of the rulebook was not long ago. But the errata has reached a volume that indicates to some serious problems with the rule texting and proof reading (also wrong cross-references, see topic in the forum).
I thought it was a good idea to insert somehow manually the corrections into the rulebook in order to avoid scroll back and forth - it is a nogo as there are neither chapter nor page references in the errata. To waste 5 min. in a tournament game just for rule searching?
Better to re-edit and reprint the rulebook with the aim that no multiple page errata.
