One-Hour Skirmish Wargames and Close Combat

A recent comment on my One-Hour Skirmish Wargames Review blog post read:

"So maybe a close combat should be treated as firing – engage in one and the figure ends all action for the turn."

I suspect this is the authors intent. This is a shooting focused game and melee should not be so over powered.

Hey, I thought, I have John's email address. Why not simply ask the author his intent?

Hi Dale,

Yes, I intended that close combat ends a figures move for that phase.

Best wishes,
John

Well there you have it! Thanks to the Unknown blog post commenter. I agree that it is a good change also and does change the nature of the game considerably.
