Tbh, when I just play to play, I cba to roleplay either.

But RP is essential when doing an AAR, the quirks of ur Fm make all the difference with other AARs :)

On RTR board I had a MTWII campaign with Venice, where my King suddenly became a bit looney, and eventually turned raving mad..

I had him ransackign across Europe with his army, and in battles constantly rushing forward slaughtering everything in his path :D

It was great fun!
