Reply To: First impressions vs sustainability. Are looks more important than rules?

Historicals are a bit odd.

Altough even there I’d argue that cool minis can get someone in. Tanks are good for that bit. (anyone who hasn’t wanted a Tiger tank is not telling the truth 😛 )

Or maybe it is a ‘cool’ / ‘interesting’ battle ? Fantasy has lore/background, but those can be tricky to navigate without visual media as a reference.

(that’s why D-day is the usual ‘starter set’ for WW 2 rules : everyone understands what it was … )

I don’t understand the hatred/disdain for entry level (historical) games like Bolt action and Flames of war.
Yes, they’re not perfectly historical … but they get the job done for the people that play them.

Not everyone has the time or desire to do a deep dive into a game.
Beer&pretzel level of fun can be good enough for some.
