Why even bring it up? You don't understand the appeal of games with rules that you play strictly within and that do not engage the imagination. You know this about yourself.Do you realize that the historical wargamers in the 80s had (and still have) the same problem you have? They use to go to the hobby store to find the latest wargame involving real battles from Earth's history. And then these upstart role-players came along and shoved aside their miniatures battles for books on imaginary places. People who use to flock to their hobby were being diverted away from real wargaming for this dungeon crawling crap. Who could find that interesting?How hard is it to find 15mm minis of Napolean's France today? They've been subplanted by Warhammer minis with their ridiculous dwarves and elves. Can't find store stocked with a decent jeep for recreating Rommel's Sahara, either I bet.Of course the ultimate irony here is you say you a student of history. And here you are repeating the past.</blockquote>
