It made for lots and lots of walking, waiting, looking. I loved that aspect, but as I get older, and very lazy, sometimes I want to know EXACTLY where the other team is. Thats Castle Conquest. I KNOW exactly where you will be on Saturday, and its about a 4 minute walk from my car.
I really miss that kind of game. Seems like that kind of thing just doesn't happen anymore - even if fields have the real estate to do that kind of thing, they restrict you to small fields. I can't remember the last time I played a game where you couldn't see your opposition at the start (except for scenario games which quickly turn into a broad front). I love stalking through the woods, hunting while being hunted. Most people playing today never got to experience that style of play.
