Fallout Re: Stack Movement?

I like the option and have no issues concerning its use or how it works, but this this thread is making me feel like a "dinosaur".

I guess too many SPI/Avalon Hill/SSI and the "grandaddy" of them all Chess games over the years.

But the "father(s)" of my board game life, was the "rarity" to have played the original TACTICS (1958 which I played ~20yrs later. also, they released a 25th Ann. Ed. in 1983.) and it's younger and newer brother TACTICS 11 (1973) .

I blame my youth and my "sometimes" micro-managing to the tried and true one unit at a time approach to get to, hold and advance to/from my objectives.

It slows the game down, however, for me and my Chess background if you can't look several moves ahead and do the same from your opponent's point of view more often than not, at best a draw, or worse a loss. If you're lucky you might pull one out but rarely against a competent or better player.

Besides at my current "young" age the exercise is good for the brain.

And wouldn't it be a "witch" if your waypoint fell upon an opponent's advance units or an ambush? Just a consideration of "how far down the road" do you go using that method of movement?

Regards,
Pat
