I am in agreement with you.
If you like the civil war, Battle Cry is great.
If you like WWII, Memoir ’44 is great.
If you like Ancients, Command and Colors is great.
If you like fantasy, Battle Lore must be great.
Let’s put this in perspective, what is the table time? I much prefer Memoir to Battle Cry…I just like the genre better which has neater cards. C&C does not work for me because I don’t care for that Era and I don’t like the blocks.
I know I would like Battle Lore….but, Memoir works for me and how many dice slugging games do your really need?

If I’m falling for something, it’s probably BattleLore. I don’t find Memoir too simple, actually — I haven’t played it enough to get there. I might, had I actually chance to play it more often. So, maybe someday I will have need for more.
Then again, I thought about adding new rules to Memoir — I do have some ideas for special units and it would be nice to have a point system for creating battles on the spot…
However, if I find myself in Lautapelit.fi store in Helsinki with sudden surge of money on my bank account, I’m not going to be held responsible for the results =)

You should stop fighting the temptation. If you like Memoir but find it too simple, jump into one of the other alternatives–you won’t be sorry.
Putting the stickers on C&C isn’t really that bad and you could choose to sticker only one side since it’s easier to see the pieces when they’re laying flat on the board anyway.
I’ll be waiting to hear that you’ve given into your instincts and bought one of them.
