Ron Berg from the Rocky Mountain Civil War Roundtable has reviewed SOWGB and sent us his latest. We really appreciate everyone that takes the time to review our game. Thanks Ron!
I’ve always counted simulations (which somehow sounds more respectable than “game”) as valuable tools in understanding history. Like their brethren media — books, movies, reenactments, collecting, etc. — a high-quality simulation provides insights into an event and the challenges faced by the participants. Interactive by definition, simulations bring a number of unique advantages over other methods. They are tools for self-teaching that can be used to explore a nearly unlimited spectrum of “what if” alternatives. And knowledge learned in this way is quickly internalized and often long-lasting.
