Jo, the French set has its pro's and con's, otherwise we would have all been using it by now..... B-)
I suggested that we use the "basic/vanilla" rule-book as the base document and "insert" the various amended/house-rules in the relevant sections, identifiable.
That way we create a document based on the "official" published rules with all additional stuff recognizably included and use that as a basis to seek community agreement.
This sounds excellent! As a rather new player I am not too set in my ways and I think this could be an interesting way of trying to approach consensus. I played a game just last night where we tried some suggestions from the Germans that visited us last weekend. Worked pretty well in my opinion
Doing the layout like so:
Generic Rule:
basic/vanilla basic/vanilla basic/vanilla basic/vanilla basic/vanilla basic/vanilla basic/vanilla
[Swedish - this how they do it. this how they do it. this how they do it. this how they do it.)
[French - this how they do it. this how they do it. this how they do it. this how they do it.)
and so on...
That would be an interesting read at the least
