Time to be less touchy-feely

Paint it Pink

Never played Napoleonics, unless Franco-Prussian war counts, and even then only one game of that? Just not into the whole uniform porn thing that most players seem to fetishize.

Ancients, played a few games in my time, but missing the things that interest me, namely vehicles and guns.

WW1 surprisingly interesting period, especially now with the Mud & Blood rules.

SCW just has all the best elements of WW2 without the uber German thing going for it. I quite like the whole field expedient AFV idea.

This is probably why I also like AK47 African and Middle East wars with the proliferation of "technicals", which are just so fascinating.

Vietnam for the helicopters and riverine warfare, just plain cool.

Science Fiction Battletech for its illogical, but totally cool, if totally bat-sh*t cray, giant stompy robots, which is an ideal background for those of us who like to hide historical battles using SF.

Not into Fantasy gaming, played in the past, but too much like ancients as a period.
Unlike some people, I feel under no obligation to pretend that only one war-gaming scale is true, and that any others 6mm/10mm/15mm/25mm are mistaken; or that I know better than people themselves what is right for them to use. The point is precisely for all war-gamers to decide for themselves.
