Reply To: "Golden Age of Wargaming"….perhaps not?

I do need to add that I’m not saying that their a grand conspiracy to manipulate gamers (with big companies hiring hoards of psychologists). More it’s been an accidental “evolution” of how gaming has developed over the years (and perhaps the trend of the manufactures producing their own rules to accompany their range of figures).

But perhaps we’re not the only ones to be wondering what’s happened to our hobby over the years. After the mention of Pete’s open letter I’ve remembered a few musings by others on the subject.

Alas I can’t find the open letter that Pete did on the difficulties on getting coverage of anything in 6mm with the main Wargames magazines (BTW I have figures in 6mm, 10mm, 15mm, AND 28mm) so I’m not trying to “ban” 28mm gaming (anything but, just the fact that it’s all we usually get to see in the hobby media).
