>>21867415I think it's the right way to do it, a lot of the fun in tabletop wargaming, at least for some players, comes from the storytelling that it offers, I've played with guys who will recount and narrate events as they happen, they don't just say "wow I only hit with one bolter from that whole squad" they tell me why, they explain why that unit of highly trained marines acted so uncharacteristically incompetent.
I think it's good to explain to new people how they can be telling stories, otherwise why not just play chess?
