You were asked – TMP link Do you play wargames that are the "action sequences" in a broader milieu that is not part of the wargame itself? 40% said "yes, my wargames are sometimes part of a broader milieu" 31% said "no, my wargames are not part of a broader milieu" 18% said "yes, my wargames are rarely part of a broader milieu" |

Exeter, I traced it back to the original post. So nearly as I could make out, eto was talking about campaign games, but the initial question was a little obscure, and the initial title--"The Attraction is in the Action!"--downright opaque. Maybe you have to have some sort of RPG element? Possibly game sessions without miniatures? Odd. Eto is generally clearer than that. If it's not that, I don't know. Even GW has a "milieu" of sorts, and Blasthof Bridge and Sittangbad have background stories. It's inherent in historical miniatures. The only exceptions I can think of are ancients tournaments and such. |
