I don’t think there is a majority of historical gamers that button count, but historical gamers chose not to play Kings of War or 40k because they wanted something set in reality and the past. I have seen far more ugly criticism from 40k players moaning about kitbashes etc not being wysiwyg enough and being very ugly in their comments and harsh of attitude.
There is undeniably a vocal minority that do hold other players to a higher standard than is reasonable. They give the rest of the historical game players a bad name and sadly this puts new players off the genre.
Everyone has their own threshold for immersion breaking factors on their gaming table. When it’s a case of facing someone in a gaming club with criticism of your work we can just choose not to play that individual again. It becomes a lot more awkward when the minutiae picking unconstructive criticism comes online. We either ignore the feedback, check if you actually want to change anything to improve historical accuracy, or if you’re feeling energetic you could have a comments box war and tackle their pedantic feedback head on.
Andy Zeck, not a button counter in my opinion, helped me with feedback, but I was asking for critical feedback.
Excellent! Like the 5o’clock shadow ??
All leathers were black in the 95th tho, rifle sling etc.
One of the main recruiting arguments..no pipe claying required in the Rifles ?
This was helpful, gave me a fun and historical reason for correcting my paint job and I appreciated the input. I looked up what “pipe claying” was and won’t be making that mistake again.
Sadly not everyone has the class and charm that he had. (RIP Andy.)
