Reply To: Midwinter Minis Historical Wargames are not popular because it has Nazi's

I think the video was poorly constructed on the simple premise that his co host said (and I’m paraphrasing) “yeah, let’s paint Bolt Action but I don’t want to paint the Germans”. This in it self, not wanting to paint or play Nazi Germany is totally fine IMHO.

The rest was a very odd mixture.

Personally I’m not playing any game that is set in recent history (meaning from 1900 up to today) but that is my personal choice. Far be it for me to tell someone “you’re doing your hobby wrong” for playing these games.

Overall the video may have been born from a good idea (Let’s discuss moral implications when playing factions in a game that have done horrible stuff) but was stitched together with a very hot needle and already comes apart at the seams. To much focus on one period of time and one faction. The topic is complicated and loaded with traps, trip wires and deep holes.

My two cents 🙂
