You can do both .  For example
  Plains Indians resisting the progress of the Iron Horse
  Russian civil war with armoured trains
  WW1 Lawrence de-railing Turkish trains
  WW2 French resistance fighters thwarting Nazi train reinforcements
  Ukrainian truck bombs blowing up crimean rail bridges

Hours and hours of sillyness beckons.

My control rolls were matched only by my shooting. And my melee rolls too. Time after time, with odds literally 2:1 in my favour....

The Bridge on the River Kwai was a staple of U.K. holiday television scheduling for many a year. And the "real" bridge is in Thailand. 😎

Ps/ I appreciate your original comment was meant lightheartedly.

Lee and I went off on our first romantic weekend together to a forest resort on the "Kwai" (which means "tributary". btw).

Perhaps you should stick to romantic weekends with Lee rather than wargames😀

Real wargamers know a gaming weekend is a romantic getaway.
