Historical Wargaming is not inaccessible and I think there has to be a better way to describe or define the core of the issue being discussed here.

If anything it is one of, if not the most accessible Wargaming type available. History essentially becomes your fluff, model ranges from early man to modern day, rule sets available for all sorts of periods and it’s not only tabletop. Cards games, board games, travel games, kids games, adult games there are all sorts available.

I wonder, if you think about it there have been more historical miniatures released out there than maybe all the other genre types combined. Heck even the green plastic soldiers might give big companies a run for their money on their own.

I understand that this discussion is more about some of the Historical Wargaming Communities being inaccessible. But it doesn’t really seem to be that either, accessing them is not the issue. It seems that most of this discussion is about interaction with people who have a different way of viewing and playing their games.

Just leave those people to their version and play your own with like minded friends.

It’s all about happy gaming guys, yours and theirs 🙂
