You were asked – TMP link Which interests you more when playing a miniature wargame: the outcome (i.e., who wins) or the story (how the game plays, and how you imagine it fitting into the campaign/background/history)? 56% said "story"
16% said "outcome"
6% said "I'm a solo gamer, so outcome is irrelevant to me" |

Actually, we don't know. I listed "both" in the pre-poll discussion nd pointed out its omission as a choice in the poll comments. The poll was not run according to your usual process for TMP polls. Rick |

Gotta agree with Florida Tory, who cares about the outcome if the story is lacking? |

The game what else. Who cares who wins or even what a win is? If a Company attacks a Platoon its expected to prevail. However how and why and if it prevails is where the interest is not the end result, which is often just the expected outcome. |
