@mecha82 I don’t think @piers is saying he approves or disaproves of their behaviour just acknowledging that it exists.

Just like there are 40K or AoS Players who won’t play against people using non-GW Miniatures or people who won’t play on tables that don’t have “proper” terrain.

I think we can learn a lot from the Simpsons.

“Well Animals (Wargamers) are a lot like people Mrs. Simpson some of them act badly because they’ve had a hard life or been mistreated but like people some of them are just jerks”

If your local group are jerks then that sucks but maybe you can be the first non-jerk and see who else is keen. Depending on where you live there’s a ton of wargaming clubs/groups out there.

As for trying out new games/learning to play games check out “Tabletop Simulator” on Steam. You can play wargames with people all around the world without needing to go out and spend any time or money on an army. See if you like it and go from there.
