Seldom Posts posted:No, the point is that you can see who the crazy fanbois are and laugh at them. What have I said that’s crazy, specifically? Here’s a nice outline of my beliefs: 1. Warhammer is fine 2. Hex-n-chit games are fine 3. Infinity and warmahordes are fine, but are at higher risk of collapse than market leader games

This thread made me get my Warmahordes starter stuff out and go back to assembling/painting it. I also want to play some Infinity at some point and use my dumb Starlink Arwing model as part of the terrain (after giving it some weathering and ink washes). And I'm still kind of thinking of jumping on the Runewars minis box starter. Painting is so zen.

Realtalk I dabble in historicals and went out to a convention once. There were enough guys in outright fascist shirts and jackets that I ’d out of there and only bust out my table for friends now. I’d imagine the hex-n-chit community has, uh, similar demographics.

To be fair the demographic of board wargames has shifted especially thanks to more accessible stuff being released by GMT so the hobby is a lot healthier than it used to be.

Look at the Nazi-themed Imperial Guard armies or Confederate Space Marines you occasionally see popping up on Instagram. Historicals may draw those kinds of people more overtly, but it's not like they aren't present elsewhere. The important part is making sure to call their racist poo poo out as unacceptable regardless of venue.

I think that one's less cringe-worthy than some fucker in a full SS get-up. Yeah, I think there’s sort of a continuum of vidya games > warhams > historicals > hex-n-chit where the groggier you get the more you’re likely to find straight up unrepentant nazis for some reason (maybe something where the more niche a community is the more it feels like it can’t alienate any of its members?).

Ymmv In an ideal world, historical and wargame people would be better because they see the horrid nature of the regimes involved. But, I imagine that even a game like “This Guilty Land” will probably be used by some as an outlet for their insane states rights views.

Reading The Myth of the Eastern Front was sobering to me. Some of the stuff about the wargaming community is not as relevant anymore or potentially exaggerated but it’s undoubted that the romancers had an influence on the hobby
