It's fair to say I overlooked it in the original blog post, and that's "Why would you want to be there at all?" War is hell, so why make wargames more like that? It's a very valid point of approach to any game, and one I entirely respect. That being said, while in no-way glorifying warfare or the suffering in war, I prefer the games I play and run to try and create a sense, a feeling, an essence of the time, place, and moment of that time. It's just one approach to playing a wargame - you'll always be greatly welcome to try it at any table where I'm running a game, Mike! <br /><br />And thanks for the re-post Jur!Sidney Roundwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795563060856586670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1927188814636059936.post-12617801505181172592013-06-15T17:30:05.855+01:002013-06-15T17:30:05.855+01:00You're right, Mike,
