Which one are you mostly?

1) Politically liberal/prefers historical gaming
2) Politically conservative/prefers historical gaming
3) Politically liberal/prefers some genre other than historical gaming
4) Politically conservative/prefers some genre other than historical gaming

Define any of the terms however you wish.

I prefer historical gaming…no need to define it further.

Raylev3 +1

Frederick Supporting Member of TMP13 Nov 2022 12:35 p.m. PST

Hard to say as while I think of myself as socially liberal I am on the financial front definitely conservative – so I am going with Raylev 3 on this!

Politically, pragmatic moderate. Prefers historical, but I'm no purist.

Raylev has it

Historical wargaming mostly for me too.

Kindly keep your religion and politics to your good self.
It is likely to cause blood to be shed.

We know. We play historical wargames!

Have fun.

As a cav cmdr you might appreciate this.

We've all seen the Gettysburg movie scene where Lee "discusses" Stuart's perceived lapses upon arriving.

"I have brought you 400 wagons."
"They are an impediment to me now."

I wish Stuart had had the brass to sit mounted next to Lee, as the wounded from the 3rd day rolled past in those wagons, just lean over and ask.

"How do you like my wagons, now,…sir?"

Historical/pragmatic

Historical.

I'm an Agnostic insomniac with a touch of dyslexia, so I lie awake at night wondering if there really is a dog….that being said, I'm a historical gamer.

Well, at least you don't give up and just walk the god.

I play royalists and rebels with equal zeal, but I tend to limit my wargaming of fiction to "what if" scenarios, and pre-dreadnoughts.

I also own and play no period after 1945, except for occasional forays into jet fighter combat in Korea 1950-53.

PS: I own a ton of Ogre Miniatures stuff, which cannot be reconciled with my historicals-only attitude. <shrug> Everyone has at least one eccentricity.

I am a Historical Gamer who is trying to keep politics out of my hobby.

Lascaris15 Nov 2022 7:43 a.m. PST

5) I believe I should be Emperor of the Known Universe.

Also, I focus on historical gaming.

COL Scott ret22 Nov 2022 8:32 p.m. PST

Given the list by the OP I would count myself as 2, but with friends in groups 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc.

None, not a political type, I am a reality gamer, some "historic claiming" games are fantasy so a genetic "historic" gamer I an mot, reality gamer I am. Certainly no SI FOR Fantasy at all!
