You were asked – TMP link Can we really "do" historical battles – unit for unit, with critical terrain represented – on a tabletop and, with historical decisions, have a decent shot at historical outcomes? 68% said "yes"
25% said "no" |

All the time. My preferred scenario for ancients and horse and musket era games. |

Yes, of course. Not much point being a wargamer otherwise, for me anyway. |

Refighting historical battles, giving the same historical orders, to see whether a similar outcome resulted, would be one way of testing a set of rules, but it's not something I would want to do regularly. Why play a wargame when you can predict the outcome without doing so? |
