I just recently played my first round of Tannhäuser yesterday and it was pretty terrific. Yet I noticed that the second German edition that I own doesn't have the revised ruleset. I looked at the revised rules today and they seem to be totally different from the standrad ruleset which seemed to work pretty well yesterday (the Reich scored the first hits and wore the Union down a lot, but when McNeal was alone with some Reich-troops, he picked them off one by one, only to be blown to pieces in the very last round of the game where the initiative-roll kind of decided who would win, the Union with McNeal acting first or the Reich with it's last Stoßtrupp having the upper hand...). So since I'm not that keen on buying the revised rules for 10$, I thought about asking: Which kind of ruleset do you like better? The original, the revised rules or some kind of house rules using the best of both sets or something completely different?

Revised. While the original rules weren't bad , there were some problems with them. The revised edition fixes many of these. Of course, that's not to say that it doesn't have its own problems...

i still play with the old rules. i have a guy in my group of gamers that has the new rules, i have read through them. i like the old way probaly because i'm not willing to change. one thing i don't like loseing the v.p. each turn if you don't use them.

There is room for personal preference for one ruleset over another.

However, I think going forward it will become harder to play the newer expansions under the 1.0 rules.

Personally, I've abandoned the 1.0 rules so completly, I coundn't tell you where the book even is.

So, for me it's Revised Edition all the way.

Have to say i'm i'm just starting to play this i went for the new ones so i didn't learn the game. Then have to forget it to learn the revised version

Also new expansions are revisited rules only (like troop packs)

i feel that that is true as well.

While I enjoyed Tann v1.0, when I introduced the game to new players, they tended to prefer the revised rules over the original. Now that I've made printouts of droesler's awesome summary cards ( www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_foros_discusion.asp ) I'll never go back v1.0
