…and that’s fine @boaz indeed that’s the key point. Play it how you enjoy.

But for me its history first… I’ve spent too much time listening to old soldiers to have it any other way. 🙂 Its still feels like a fairly recent event to me, WW2, so I treat it with some reverence. But then I spend some of my spare time researching the engagements my Grandfather fought in so it adds a touch of personal history to it for me.

My group like the visual spectacle to match the history. Same as we don’t play until everything is painted. We probably do hit the Elitist moniker to most… but it works for us a group. Oddly the only play with painted aspect is the same in our group whether they are historical or Fantasy/Sci-Fi biased gamers.

My only point is, that whichever way you do it, if its fun for you and those you play with… then its not wrong. We just have to accept that sometimes not all people have the same viewpoint.
