In a word, education. Nothing like generaling an army through the same situation, albeit within gaming limitations. Especially when reading a book on the battle at the same time.
I agree Dave from a players' perspective - you learn from "doing" even in a pixel virtual way? :chin: But, from a "pure" scenario designer perspective... I would not want to invest the required amount of time and effort into the research, development, and play testing of a historically one-sided battle. :smoke:
