I don’t think that there is such a thing as a ‘proper ‘ wargame, which is one of the things I love about this hobby...<br />I personally like games that are well thought out and considered and most importantly fun.<br />I am actually drawn to your style of wargames and my up and coming Napoleonic project is definitely influenced by the ‘utilitarian’ look of your collection.<br /><br />All the best.
