Well, I've played around some with the game now that encumbrance is gone. I really tried to like it, but it really all seems pointlessly simplistic now. There's no reason not to just have one armor piece and that's it, like every other game out there. There's nothing to tweak (and I love to tweak designs). I can't trade a piece of armor for less of an initiative penalty, nor is there a new system to allow similar tweaking. We should have a system that encourages us to try

I really liked the encumbrance system. It really made me think about my unit designs and how to optimize them and avoid unnecessary initiative loss. The only thing I would have changed with it is to break it into more chunks rather than just having Light (no effect), Medium (-2), and Heavy (-4).
