As an historical miniature gamers, on a scale of 1 (low) to 10 (high), how much do you love history? |

10! That is what got me interested in gaming. Which got me more interested in history, etc. |

Is there anything higher than a 10? |
Bashytubits | 02 Apr 2018 5:12 p.m. PST |

10 As a youngin' I read tons of history books from the school and public libraries way before discovering miniatures. (Just in case it is a concern about which came first; chicken/egg.) |
Kevin C | 02 Apr 2018 6:59 p.m. PST |
10, which is a good thing considering that I am a History professor. |

10. The history and the painted miniatures. The game is a bonus. |
attilathepun47 | 02 Apr 2018 8:33 p.m. PST |
10 to the tenth power. As for science fiction, maybe a 3, and for fantasy or horror a minus 100. |
Bobgnar | 02 Apr 2018 8:47 p.m. PST |
It's too bad that much of history is not worth loving. |

9-10, Sometimes I would rather "x". So not always a 10. BTW I am actually an official U.S. Army Military Historian, or was until retirement. |

Definitely a 10, which is why I earned a Master's degree in history and taught it in both high school and college for 40 years before retiring at the end of last year. Got into minis at a young age, nearly 50 years ago, because of it. There is so much history out there, and so many interesting eras to wargame, I don't understand why anyone would waste his time on anything else. But, "to each his own!" I guess. |

As a person, 10. As a historical gamer… not so much. Because I find myself interested in a period for gaming, then I read about and think… not so much. Either it seems one-sided, or I can't picture the scale of conflict I'd like to game, or I don't like either side… Take the Spanish Civil War. Characterful, amusing uniforms and weapons. Should be ideal. But was it balanced, really? Do I like either side? Are actions limited to a platoon a side relevant? One day I might do Spanish Civil War; but I'll put aside a fair bit of my historical knowledge if I do, and play it as a game. |
