MarkC is being silly here :) All of Games Workshop games are not historic simulation games (the correct term I am referring to now). Unless we have Orcs, Elves, Dwarfs, Dragons and Giants in our historic record (although to somebody they are real creatures :) )
As I say before, the term "Wargame" is such a general term, it just means "games that deal with warfare" and so it will encompass any game that have a war element in it - Civilization, Small World and even Magic can be consider a wargame... What I am trying to define is what games Rick and I will like to play when we mention playing Wargames... Command and Colors: Ancient, LocknLoad Band of Heroes, Storm over Stalingrad, Flying Color, Mustangs, Panzerblitz etc are the few that we will like to introduce and want to find players that are interested in playing or trying those out... But others are welcome to join, but for Warhammer or any of the miniatures table top game, I don't think there is room for them this coming Saturday... Then again, it is Rick's idea, so I will not sound like I am taking over here :) As a wargamer, I am used to taking over as a tactic :) --- Ken --- On Mon, Nov 14, 2011 at 2:04 PM, Mark Crane <[email protected]> wrote: > Wait, are you saying that Man O' War by Games Workshop isn't a wargame? > What about Small World? > > > On Mon, Nov 14, 2011 at 12:56 PM, Kenneth Li <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Hi Andrew, >> >> Thanks for your post, but I guess there is some misconception here. >> >> By Wargamer, Rick means historical board wargames or historical conflict >> simulation - Advanced Squad Leader, Squad Leader, Third Reich, PanzerBlitz >> etc... >> >> I guess, wargame is too general a term and it includes miniatures table >> top games (a general misconception to most people)... >> >> A "Grognard" usually means they don't include Warhammer or 40K and >> such...
