Beyond the Pale?

[Ben Waterhouse]

Elizabeth's Irish Wars? What so tricky about them then? Never heard of them (in that terminology at least).

I have to agree with huascar. A game is a game is a game to paraphrase Gertrude Stein.

A tricky master of pun-ology is in our midst.

I found with a lack of morality play with the new trilogy of star wars setting, saying that "those" is star wars universe.

I don't see a problem with gaming any conflict. As long as you a gaming not living out your own little war and thinking your a general.

We all have run into that guy, who thinks he could run a army cause he wargames.

Why isn't there a range of 10mm early twentieth century Paris-dwelling intellectual posers? You could have a Fauvist-Cubist-post-Impressionist alliance against an axis of expat Nazis and American writers, and you'd get to make an Eiffel tower out of matchsticks! French civvies would be ever such fun to paint up as every Gallic stereotype known to Giles and his fellows.

I have to agree with others that my major objection to periods I don't play is lack of interest, rather than any intrinsic repugnance. Something in me, however, will not allow me to paint casualties. Perhaps because it's an acknowledgement that war cannot be waged without deaths, but I don't see them as necessary or desirable. I did, to my shame, once buy a packet of Japanese casualties, but never got beyond undercoating them. Is that hypocrisy?

Damn! It's just occurred to me what a nifty baggage element a sepukku scene would be!
