Hi JDB,

Really liking the game so far (early days I know).

One thing that would really enhance the game in my opinion is having the Offence and Defense Formations shown in a text box, before the outcome of the play is played out on the 2D field.

To me this would greatly justify the hours you`ve put in to the believe ability of the game engine to us GM`s, and also justify to us players, that a bit of thinking/planning really does have a bearing on the result of each play and it`s not just dice rolls and probability %`s.

Also it would greatly help us GM`s figure out better, what plays/formations are used when and where on the field,so we can see the mistakes we are making clearer.

Thank You.

I think that is built in enough, already you have that chance the player could be a dud

Thanks for the comments! I do have a bunch of items to update the game viewer, one of them is to display the actual play each team is calling. I'll make a note in that ticket to be sure I also include the formation.

I appreciate the feedback and patience as the game continues to mature!
