You were asked – TMP link Does miniature wargaming count as a 'martial art'? (Videogames may qualify for future Olympics as a martial art.) 71% said "no, wargaming is not a martial art"
3% said "yes, wargaming is a martial art" |

Probably more of a marital art? |

Well this thread gave me a wonderful idea for my next Gunfighter's Ball scenario. The town will have a new lawman; "Marshal Art". (Artimus Wang-Chung). One must find humor where ever it may come from or else we all lose! Thanks, Fellahs! |

Running a Napoleonic game at a Detroit Con with over 1000 15mm figures on the table. One of the many players rolled badly and slammed his fist onto the table. The scene is ever embedded in my brain as almost every figure on the table jumped up into the air a good 8 inches, crashing down in disarray. Now that was some serious Kungfoo! |

If wargaming was a 'martial art' wouldn't we have seen a film where Jackie Chan snatches up a battlemat from under the figures, entangles his opponent in it, hurls dice at him and finally overturns the entire table to make his escape? |

No, I think he would flip his opponent up in the air, to land on the pike blocks advancing across the table… ;-) |
