Reply To: Police called to sort out a young wargamer.

Its also an interesting to step back and view in the sense normally as wargamers we get caught up in the rule set and the context be it history/semi history/fantastical

Whilst to the external of this hobby (and probably gaming in general) the aesthetic  is probably the thing they zero in on as the visuality of the game is the only bit they can put into context

 

In the wider context the school probably only did what it had been taught, the downside is there should probably be an intermediary section between reporting and all out police intervention, cutting the wheat from the chaff.

And lets be honest there probably is atleast  a handful  of people out there in the world playing some sort of wargame which is linked to a viewset that may not be entirely pleasent

The fact is extremism on the right and left is rising and the laws probably are a bit knee jerk at the moment and need refining but that is probably easier said than done considering the amount of meta data these guys are trying to sift through
