Totally agree with the idea of promoting Historical war gaming in a positive way.

In my opinion, although @warzan has been converted and is pro-historical these days, Beasts of War have only scratched the surface of Historical gaming. @oriskany does a grand job with his excellent articles.

There are two things that I think would help on BoW. 1st not so much focus on the 20th Century, yes its popular, but there has been very little coverage in comparison on Ancients, Medieval or Renaissance periods. 2nd more video content on Historical games, some of the best have been the likes of Justin playing Sharpe Practice, but we also need see other scales not just 28mm. 15mm or 6mm which are very popular in Historical and also painting tutorials for how to paint a 15mm ancient Army or a 6mm Renaissance army to dispel the myths about the difficulty of it.
