HONOR SYSTEM
AHIKS has an unusually mature group of wargamers as members. The concept of each player rolling his own attacks, on his honor not to cheat has been used many times. For many games, the honor system is the only practical method for PBM or PBEM. Players will find it helpful to rigorously write down ALL movement, attacks, etc., PRIOR to starting die rolls. Prepare the exact forms you will mail to your opponent. Record ALL combats on the proper form prior to rolling the first battle (for those games in which a player must commit to all combats before resolving any of them). After everything is “set,” start the die rolls, writing down each one as you roll, and immediately resolving retreats, advances, etc., also in writing. It should be noted, frankly, that some players feel uncomfortable with this system, either because they fear their own temptations, or because they do not wish to harbor any doubts about the other player. Agreement to use the honor system must be mutual and must be stated before the game begins; at any point in the game, either player may request that the ICRK be used henceforth.
