No, no, no. You misunderstand. I don't want them to publish them in
wargam-ese. But if they would structure them that way when developing them,
then they would avoid the amazing amount of vague rules and dunderheaded
clarifications. Once they unscrew the rules from a technical standpoint,
then they can add the background stuff.
