Maybe you should lobby for equal rights? I just don't understand how the ranking on the "games" section can be different than that in the "wargames" section.

Oh, and a thumb for sporting an Ood.

We need a troll emoticon.

Personally, I don't consider wargames to be general games. Wargames and miniatures are specialized subsets of the gaming world. And, I'm happy to play them...

Or you could say that wargaming has the privilege of an additional forum to discuss wargame specific topics, on top of using the 'general gaming' forums.

I don't see a forum called 'Eurogaming'. Those poor bastards.

And yea, I don't really care either.

Wargames are not general games. They are real gamer's games; all other games are "general games" by comparison.

Not until the Valley Games "Flying Dutchman" shipment of generals for Hannibal: Rome vs. Carthage arrives on our doorsteps!

I thought of them as games for Generals. Armchair Generals...

See? And I think they are, 'cause they make me feel like a General!

Ba-dum ching!

We should also have a bad joke emoticon!

For some reason, reading and posting in this thread makes me feel an overwhelming sense of obscurity, almost like being in a pit of despair that my life could be so vacant that I feel obliged to make my thoughts known on this matter. Release me! Please release me from this madness... this savage Internet malaise....

There are wargames and then there is everything else. I don't see what the issue is.

"Wargames and miniatures are specialized subsets of the gaming world. And, I'm happy to play them... "

Actually, board games are a specialized subset of the gaming world (and I'm happy to play them).

    The "General Gaming" cat catches the pieces that remain. Wargaming is a well-defined genre that can be easily classified.

    Personally I'm comfortable with war games based on the Brigade level or higher being in the "General Gaming" category.

I'm a wargamer.

Therefore, I'm just BETTER than other gamers.... My games SHOULD have their own section!!!!!

It's SCIENCE!

geez! and I thought that an "Imperial Tonne" of LEAD was 'dense'! Let me put this as "inelegantly" and redundantly "simplistic" as necessary for the obvious, or oblivious 'ones'. You SEE, with your "wargames", then you usually have a "General" COMMANDING said 'antagonists' for that, hence their "ought to be" inclusion within something such as, oh, I know! "GENERAL" gaming sections eh? Wow! It's a good 'thang' that none of YOU detractors were: "Rocket Brain Therapists", huh?

Maybe Euro, family and party games aren't deserving of their own forums.

How else will all the wargaming grognards feel superior to the legions of Euro-gamers?

"Bah, Puerto Rico doesn't even have a CRT"

Oh, Groggy, Groggy, Groggy, what a groaner! You forgot naval gamers! What about "ADMIRAL Gaming" for such?

I can't help but wonder whether Chess will be put into one category, or the other, or both.

I do know that in order to maximize shelf capacity to hold my bulging but impossible-to-shrink collection, I've done a dreadful thing.

I'm mixing wargames and general games. On the same shelf. Next to one another, above and below one another, on top of one another, even inside one another. Sheesh, reading what I just wrote, it sounds like something naughty.

Dogs and cats, living together . . . .

Those rightly belong in "Davy Jones' LOCKER!"
and could someone PLEASE ask HIM to take his 'gym clothes' from this to HOME and wash these? *phew*!
