I just enjoy trolling Ken, and other grognards. I am sure that Dragon's Keep is open to any games that people wish to bring to the tables, wargame or not. When Ken says there "isn't room" I am pretty sure he is referring to the space requirements of tabletop miniature games, and not the welcoming attitude of the players themselves.
My son would like to play a wargame on Saturday. I have Storms of Steel, which we are both learning. I think he might enjoy Combat Commander too, but in my limited experience it's a little harder to work through the rules. Anyway, we will swing by and see what is happening. In other news, I was invited to play Man O' War with a work colleague last Friday. It took four hours, with four players, to work through about four turns. It was fun, with lots of flavor, destruction, magic and special abilities. Not a game for those who don't enjoy dice and chaos, but a good game for building a narrative. I am tempted to look into Uncharted Seas or perhaps Dystopian Wars.
