so you would not use the decal for waffen ss for example!

So I will admit, a big push with this idea was their move to the new location – getting to read the Hypernotes and seeing all the setup they got to do was very interesting.

So I think with this “history” vs “current events” is quite different. I’m less uncomfortable with playing WW2 stuff because it’s all a way of understanding exact events outside of the current time period.

As for the SS, I’m not quite so “oh no must never play”. I probably wouldn’t choose to paint up an SS force, but if there was a game that used them, I wouldn’t be too turned off (unless the action we were fighting was something awful and in poor taste, like “round up civilians” or something daft). I’d also probably not call them “Elite Troops” – probably more “Uniformed Paramilitaries” seeing as the uber elite idea is not strictly true for all of them.

I love your bazistan idea! It is no different to what BLACK POWDER RED EARTH did with iraq! You could accuse them of being either anti-irnian or telling the truth!

I am just asking-if you play a ww2 battle and the SS are there, what do you call them please? I know in the toy soldier world there called @ELITE TROOPS@.

I agree with what you say!

Exploring and identifying what makes the hobby and a game enjoyable can be confronting, however if you can find it, well your life is going to be all the richer for it. Best of luck!

Thanks Pete – I’m not calling on everyone to join me in casting off 100% accurate Ultramoderns as heresy, it’s just what I think I need to do to really enjoy it.

Hopefully my future work ends up still being interesting.

Cheers,

Pete.

Our chat was one of the things that kind of pushed me over the decision (among other events). I do definitely think the scenario has an important part to play, as well as the reality of additional objectives to constrain certain actions

Thanks, and I hope you enjoy what comes out of it. I’m hoping this will get some of the weight off my shoulders when it comes to the Ultramodern gaming.

Thanks for the comment! Like most of the times we’ve chatted, you make some very good points.

I think one of the main things of me making an imagination is not to go completely off the wall with the ideas – I still want to be playing situations that echo the things we’ve seen, just without bringing the oversized elephant into the room.

Its also worth considering scenarios that do reflect varying objectives and motivations between forces?
