HEY

if anyone wanted to run this video somewhere to promote the hobby, go right ahead.

I am working on a bunch more such vids...but am considering offering them on CD, as it takes way too much time and I need to compensate for my efforts...

[Kelleyman3]

You are right about history so I changed the title a little to be more precise.

I am a fanatical miniatures painter and wanted to share my enthusiasm for the hobby.

[Kelleyman3]

This is designed to show what our hobby is all about. I hope you like it.

I am open for suggestions for future chapters...

I am so sick of this bogus complexity thing it ruins everything. Wargames never were too complicated. People are just lazy. That’s was playstation is for.

I think a big turn off for people with wargames is complexity. If rules are too complex it feels daunting to learn the, and you don't feel comfortable. On the other hand, it can't be coin flip easy. I felt like 3rd edition dnd was a good example of comple but not over the top, as opposed to the table top world of war craft knows and DnD 4th edition.

Here is the problem. In America, Historical gaming has been overrun with whining about complexity. There is not a discussion that doesn’t somewhere involve some reference to it. Nothing is fun anymore, it has to be coin flip simple and 2 minutes per game or people complain. I never bought the whole PC destroyed the hobby but these days I wish the American hobbyists would permanently switch to PC games so a market for some in depth detailed wargaming would return.
