I also enjoy playing as a historical learning tool.
But I enjoy designing more than anything. Creating scenarios that are as historical as I can make them (recently, anyway) and the playing them to see if I was able to recreate the "essence" of the battle. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose, other times the scenario ends up in the bin.
Either way, since 1997, I have been completely "hooked" on the game and don't see that wavering.
What Jason said works for me. I do enjoy the historical types more but have had fun playing and designing hypotheticals. I don't really care for off the wall hypotheticals where tons of armor are racing around..prefer hypotheticals that could have a basis in reality.
I really hate scenarios that claim to be history based that have no semblance to the actual battles. Heck I'm not even sure that semblance is a word but figure it makes the point.
It's a great game and you can actually come close at times creating a realistic resmblance of actual battles.
Team games with good turn rate players are the best. Running a campaign is also a blast.
