Reply To: Is wargaming just "make believe" with dice?

I know this is wargaming talk, not RPG, but as a GM I often find it frustrating that players often want to ‘win’…

By that I mean they don’t like to surrender, no matter what the odd. They seem to have faith that the GM won’t go with the TPK…

Defeat makes stories interesting in fiction whether it be TV, movies, or paper. The hero getting captured by the villain only to escape later makes the story more entertaining.

If Leia hadn’t been captured there would be no Luke, Han or Chewie in the story. If Merry and Pippin hadn’t been captured then Ents would not have been involved.

End of ramble…
