What amuses me is that Monty would probably quite enjoy tabletop wargaming
if he could get over how tragic it is, how desperately lonely and sad the participants are and the strong smell of stale sweat and dried spunk. He's got the necessary mental attitude to enjoy the game mechanics.

It is a hatred born out of fear.
There but for the grace of God, goes Monty Boyce.

I used to do military gaming when I was a child.
My brother and I inherited a huge collection of painted lead soldiers mounted in blocks and used to have long-running games in our playroom.

Just to point out, this was a good 30 years ago or more.

I used to play when I was like 13 or soo, wish I kept my stuff, it would be worth well in excess of a good few grand.
I reckon it's quite a good game, that can last for days, it's like Risk on crack.

It's a very well put together game, for sure.
But it is a) for children and b) attracts a particularly insalubrious section of society.

It's a social "Rule in hell or serve in heaven" thing, you'd be king agmonst them.
I'd say its a bit simplistic to say it's "for children", the rules are very complicated and the artwork is extremely intricate.

Yeah, it is.
On the other hand, whatever way you look at it, it's playing with toys.

And they *are* toys.

I think these transend from 'toys' to 'models' / 'figurines', because they envolved lead and toxic chemicals.
I wouldn't let kids play with them, for the kid's safety, not for the toys.
