@phaidknott – there is nothing that puts me off playing them, other than having two kids under four and free time being a distant memory! TBH I have an idle plan for a calais garrison bolt action army, and have played quite a few in the past just on computer. I love hex based Napoleonic and ACW games, but that is probably a discussion for a different thread.

I do wonder if the barrier to getting people to do re-fights is the situation that they find games in. Not being a player it seems that re-fights need a level of agreement between players much earlier on – pick a battle, research the sides etc and seem ideally suited to groups/clubs doing them as projects. 40K and other games seem more individualistic in that i can collect an army, rock up to an event/club night/pick up game and play. Could logistics of getting a game be an issue?
