TO: Terry Gore: Editor S.A.G.A. I would like to renew my subscription to SAGA starting with issue number 47. I have enclosed a check for $20.00 dollars. I think you are doing a great job with SAGA. However, I do have comment. It seems that a lot of articles and space is devoted to the pro's and con's of WRG 7th and DBM, however it seems that several other rule sets are left out of the picture particularly, Shieldbearer and Armati. The most common argument against DBM is that it is too simple and does not have enough troop types to Provide tactical flavor. The most common argument against WRG 7th is that it is too complicated and hard to introduce new players into. Without having a lot of experience with Armati, it seems to answer the problems with both DBM and WRG 7th yet. I have not seen any articles on the pro's and con's of this system. Is it because of the tournament mentality of ancient and medieval wargamers? Even so I feel Armati lends itself well to tournament play. In short I would like to see more on other game systems. The debate on WRG 7th and DBM has been played out.
