@oriskany : it has been said that ‘the lion king’ is a Disney animated version of Shakespeare’s Hamlet.

Some people may need a re-skinned variant of actual historic events to let them get over the ‘history is boring’ prejuidice.

The battle at Rorke’s drift (sp?) is more heroic when you realise it was British vs Zulus instead space marines fighting an orc horde. However part of the fun of wargaming is in the tactics as well as the history.

In a way it can be like teaching kids to eat their vegetables …

besides … when you manage to convince the owner of a ‘Nachtwulfen’ army to get an interest in the Napeolonic era warfare then you must realise there is hope for all of us 😉
