Actually a legitimate question as its obvious success, whether you like the rules or not, FOW has received much interest and good attention from the "young...

No, to be honest I find wargaming anything after about 1900 to be a little distasteful. I lost 7 out of 8 great uncles in WW1, the last dying many years after...

Hi there Eric, One of my uncles served with the first British regiment to enter Belsen. What he saw there haunted him for 50 years. Of course, history is...
I too have problems about wargaming current or near current conflicts. Yes, perhaps, hypocritical, but I like to game the good old Horse and Mucket eras. And...

Must be the only war in history where one side (CoW) doesn't record or try and estimate the number of casualties on the other.. You could always try reading...
I certainly haven't heard anything about the UK not teaching about the Holocaust. I do know that many of the Japanese activities in China and later on in WWII...
