Sure, why not? The trailers for this game have looked just amazing …! |

Damn! I LIKE that picture. I want a figure like that to lead my AWI American army! |

Blasphemy. First in war; first in peace; first in the hearts of his countrymen. |

I can accept it about as much as Lincoln being a vampire hunter. But that doesn't mean either of them aren't fun ideas to play around with. I give them credit for originality. |

> I can accept it about as much as Lincoln being a vampire hunter Me too! Of course that means I don't accept either… |
| Cincinnatus | 11 Oct 2012 6:41 p.m. PST |
No, of course not which was my point. But if you can't find room in your imagination for something wacky and fun like these ideas you need to stop being so serious. |

Neato picture.
So for this picture, after they offered he didn't reject? Didn't Harry Turtledove already write this? :) |

"George Washington can be America's greatest villain" Why not? He frequently comes up as a suggestion when people call for polls on histories greatest traitors and suchlike :) |

Rising in rebellion against your annointed King makes you a villain in my book. Especially to avoid paying for a war fought on your behalf in alliance with your traditional/ historic enemy – VILLAIN ! |

How could Washington be a Vampire when he had no teeth? |
| John the OFM | 12 Oct 2012 6:35 p.m. PST |
Think about it. Wooden teeth and wooden stakes… |

I heard that GW has the rights for 73mm figures for that game, they're doing the sculpts now. Rules to be written by Rick Priestley. |
| spontoon | 27 Dec 2012 10:07 p.m. PST |
I find it easier to accept Lincoln as a vampire! he has a selpuchural look about him… |
| Old Contemptibles | 28 Dec 2012 12:57 a.m. PST |
Someone beat you to it but I can't find the post. I don't get this stupid game. You have this renegade Indian helping the Americans. Makes no sense whatsoever. |

Well it could be argued that George Washington was responsible for triggering events that created the modern world??…. So he could be seen as a bit of a villain!! |
| Supercilius Maximus | 30 Dec 2012 7:41 p.m. PST |
I realise that archstanton's comment was very much meant as "tongue-in-cheek", but as a Briton, I would argue that America's input into the modern world is far more a product of its industrialisation in the mid-19th Century, and later involvement – largely reluctantly – in two world wars, rather than anything Washington may have done. The guy was basically just a farmer after all. That said, he (along with others both senior and junior to him) was certainly instrumental in starting the F&I War, which led to Great Britain being the pre-eminent colonial power in North America, and hence – rather ironically – to Americans no longer seeing a need for British protection, leading in turn to demands for greater political autonomy. So one could argue that his involvement in American independence does actually go somewhat beyond being the Continental Army's c-in-c from 1775 to 1783. Whilst I see this game, in itself, as no more than "alternative history" (accent on "alternative"), I do worry that it is becoming a little dangerous to promote these fictional interpretations at a time when few schoolchildren in America (and pretty much none in the UK) are taught the actual history – eg that Washington actually turned down the chance to wear a crown – and that what they see in cinemas and in video games is just pretend. I suppose you could always be at risk of septicemia(sp?) from splinters off the wooden dentures….. |
