@oriskany well said as always.

 

I’ve always found historical gamers to generally be very helpful. Certainly when I started, I was lucky to have a club that put on all manner of games and every week allowed a 14 year old to join in and use their stuff. It was that attitude that made me become solely focussed on Historical gaming. When I finally had my own stuff they offered me rulesets and then played the games I ran. I was lucky to find such a good club where the older members were so encouraging. I can remember almost every game we played in those first few years… and I don’t think my experience was rare or unique.

But its a two way street… and the stereotypes of both sides don’t help.
