I used to be a historical game snob!

I used to be a historical game snob!  Top Hat

My nose turned up and I looked down at anything that reeked of non-historical content.  

Play a hypothetical scenario?  Idea2 Forget it! Rolling Eyes

Look at a hypothetical game?  Idea2 No way!  Rolling Eyes

But, that all changed after I purchased my first hypothetical game - Fulda Gap '85 several years ago. The speed and lethal aspect of modern combat was brought home to me in exciting and fun PBeM matches! I was hooked and that led me to purchase and play all titles in the Modern Campaigns Series. I recently completed a PBeM Danube Front '85 campaign game and was blown away by the immersive game play. 

In the past month, I also purchased Sealion '40 - another hypothetical game. I've completed two PBeM games and have a third one underway. Wow! Each game has come down to the last few turns deciding the outcome! These matches have been rollicking adventures as panzers raced across the English countryside, battling aside the initial 2nd and 3rd rate Allied combat units, and then encountering stiffening Allied defensive positions covering the objectives.

Now, don't take this the wrong way. I love me some very historical Smolensk '41 action - nothing beats huge panzer formations maneuvering over the Russia steppes! Or sweeping desert battles as Crusaders and Shermans tangle with panzers and 88's!  Smile 

Let's just say I've broadened my appetite! Since both historical and hypothetical games are on the John Tiller menu - why not try both?  Idea2

Good gaming everyone!  Big Grin
