I saw a post not long back that described EF as Published to be something other then hard core or real ie vanilla.

I have atleast used the term 'vanilla' in my posts, but not as you described (real vs vanilla). Then again, I am not a native in English so I might have and often do miss how words are intepreted or what other meanings they might have.

My definition for 'vanilla' simply refers to original, un-touched version. No bias attached whatsoever. As with ice cream: you can't go wrong when choosing vanilla

Vanilla simply means bland to me. As would any ice cream flavor bother me for a describtion of EF. Vanilla with strawberry ripples owns vanilla. EF can never get those ripples in its current engine with so many cult players with different opinions on how it should be. Earlmans campaign games take the game to another level and add a true military feal to a simple system. Generals of great caliber played similar things with real stakes for training.

now adding strawberry ripples would certainly spice it up..hmmm no stacking for cycles and no point cost for loss on the boats to boot...but oh well. scenario desighners can mitigate the flaw.
