The Ethical Implications of Historical War Games. can I ask you something?

Here you can talk about whatever floats your boat. Your favorite movie, sports team, etc. If it's a little racey, I suggest you post in R&R, otherwise we'll move it for you.

The Ethical Implications of Historical War Games. can I ask you something?

Post by GeorgeHot »

In an era where the line between entertainment and education is increasingly blurred, how do we navigate the ethical landscape of creating and engaging with war games that depict real historical conflicts? Is there a risk of trivializing the suffering and complexities of these events, or can these games serve as a valuable tool for understanding history?

There is no risk. Wargames have been around forever, and wargamers tend to be an intellectual bunch. It isn't about glorifying violence or death or suffering. It's about tactics, strategy and just hanging out with your buds pushing cardboard counters around.
Let's not make more of it than it is. It's just a hobby.
