I'd say rumours of wargaming's demise are greatly exaggerated!

I'd say we're experiencing the second golden age of wargaming. Look at the immense catalogue of terrific recent wargames. Look at the vibrancy of the community.

Sure, a print-run today might only be in the 2000-5000 spectrum. But many more wargames are produced per year than in the past. Consumer choice has never been better.

This message is in reply to post 26872:

It is ridiculous how much folks value survival let alone draws. The fact survivals are given even if solo occurs just means there should be more solos as less reason to stop them. Calhamer would be furious (met him a time or 2 back in Mass). Been running games for 40 yrs (as wargaming largely died out) & that's the way the game has gone. You've gotten more folks with less knowledge/feel for history/realism so more & more just a way to pass time for them.
