Guten abend.

I just cracked open my new/old game of Tannhauser. I got a killer deal on the version that had rules 1.0 from FFG.

That said, I've read here that there is really only 1 scenario useable with the core set in the 2.0 rules.

Now I've also seen the Miah has a home-brewed conversion of the initial core scenarios, but I wanted to ask the community something:

Should go ahead and learn the 1.0 rules and play the basic scenarios that I have, or spend the $10 and get the new rules?

Is there any harm in learning the old rules? Was the game that broken before the revision?

Thanks for any and all help you can provide.

Auf Wiedersehen

Do you intend to just play the original core game? Because naturally the revised rules are essential for any other game addition.

I would say no, don't learn the 1.0 rules if you plan to learn the 2.0 rules.

I've been playing Tann since 2007, and there are a lot of differences between the two versions, and learning the old rules set may lead to some bad habits. I know I've developed a few leading to mistakes and bad dice rolls.

I wouldn't say the game was broken before the revision, but many would disagree with me, but I belive the changes are far too extensive to warant learning both. I'm not sure if any of the old rules even apply to the revised version, aside from basic terminology and the Pathfinding system.

Interesting feedback.

I'm not certain I'll buy Novgorod right off the bat. I'll probably look to snag a few of the early single minis first. On that note, the scenarios that come with the single minis...are they all 'old' rules or new, or do just the ones released after v. 2 have new rule scenarios in them?

The reason I ask is that I'm really into the background and lore of TH, and I would like to see how a campaign might play out...if at all.

The scenarios included with the older singles (Yula, Wolf, Ramierz, Gorgei) are most likley the 1.0 versions, but the Revised Rule Book includes updated versions of all of them.

Any of the newer singles (Hoss, Hoax, Asteros, Oksana, Itami, Iroh, Mizu, all The Trooper Packs) require the 2.0 rules.

Currently the only official campaigns are included with the Daedalus map pack, which is a must buy, especially if you don't think your going to need a third faction, but you still want more maps, tokens, and scenarios.

As I said before I highly recomend the new rules over the old ones, you can view the first 21 pages of the Revised Rules on the Tannhauser support page here on the FFG site, and you can download the whole book for $5.00 US, or I know where to get the printed version for $7.95 US, with resonable international shipping.
