For exactly the same reasons as you have posted, however, I think that the alignment structure is even more suitable to a game of Light vs Darkness - as Law and Chaos can both be on the side of Light or of Darkness. <br /><br />The example of freedom fighter vs terrorist you gave is very much a case where Law vs Chaos apply when Good and Evil may not be as obvious. Freedom Fighters who act as civilian combatants and irregular shock troops are a perfect example of Chaotic non-military units. Even the Viet Cong were far more chaotic than the the uniformed NVA (although in most cases the VC operatives in the bush were more Lawful or Neutral while the VC operatives in urban environments who took on missions of sabotage and terrorism would be Chaotic). <br /><br />The assumption in most of my B/X games has been that the players are on the side of Light, and the Law/Chaos alignment axis represents how they work within that side. In other words, they are good, but Lawful Good, Neutral Good and Chaotic Good are very different things.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
