As an avid gamer I have a voracious appetite for learning new games. I am always up for learning a new board game, RPG, card game, miniatures game, or video game. New versions of games are also a delicacy for my gaming appetite that I can never get enough of, this is why gaming companies love me. With so many different rule sets running around in my head, sometimes it can get confusing, or I start mixing them together.
Case in point; this past weekend I introduced my friend to Warmachine and Hordes. We had a blast playing it, but I started adding in rules from other games. Warmachine is a minis game by Privateer Press that is similar to Warhammer 40k but is more character focused. When I first started playing it I would treat it much like I played Warhammer 40k. Luckily I was playing with some experienced players that set me straight.
When I was playing last Friday with my friend, I started treating my warjacks and warcaster like Dungeons and Dragons characters. In Warmachines, when your model activates it must perform its move action before its other actions. I was doing my other actions first, and then moving part of the time as I would in Dungeons and Dragons. After looking through the rules I noticed that I was doing things wrong and quickly apologized to my friend who was just learning. I did not want to teach him wrong.
Has this happened to any of you? If so, how do you handle rules blurring?
