...opponents who point out that you have forgotten to move a critical unit.

...Prefer not to sqeeze the rules looking for stupid but "legal" advantages.

It was due to people like them that I drifted away from the hobby for nearly 20 years

...... people who are dead (that is the chief qualification, I'm told.) 

...opponents who quaff as much as they game  

...opponents who smile, shake your hand, and thank you for a game well-fought - and mean it - when they've been handed their proverbial to them. On a plate.

No.  But there is a place at MY table.

Sounds like an opponent I knew (many decades ago) whose idea of a wargame was to form a line on top of a hill and just sit there in the hope that you'd be obliging enough to march up and be shot down. Rules were really primitive in those days (pretty much the state WH and GM seem determined to return wargaming to), so it would have worked; therefore nobody attacked either.

It wasn't a tactic- its just that it looked all so fine, before the icky bit where commoners kill each other messed it all up.
