Adlib:
What is the attraction in war gaming?
I don't understand war gaming, or how it works, or the why of it.
Please enlighten my, because at the moment It all looks pretty dim.

Keith:
Probably slightly more attractive than trolling I'd guess?

I am sorry you think I may be trolling.
Just because I don't grasp the idea of war gaming, does not mean I am a troll.
Your answer has not helped me in any way.
Thanks for trying to enlighten me.

To me it is usually a history project. Learning about a period. Then collecting and painting the figures as well as I can. Then hopefully some games that involve some thinking and a bit of chance.

Thank you @swiftnick for your response.
Now, what games are you talking about? I know you are referring to war games, but exactly what war game? And how do you play war games?
