So I’ve been thinking on wargames, and how they relate to RPGs and how we play RPGs.
First off, real wargames suck. They are boring, and involve a whole lot of excel (which we can all agree is the worst part of any RPG, including D&D). Real wargames are about logistics, about intel, about diplomacy. About knowing when to fight, and knowing when nót to. Wait. That sounds a lot like… any RPG.
