In an era where the line between entertainment and education is increasingly blurred, how do we navigate the ethical landscape of creating and engaging with war games that depict real historical conflicts? Is there a risk of trivializing the suffering and complexities of these events, or can these games serve as a valuable tool for understanding history?

There is no risk. Wargames have been around forever, and wargamers tend to be an intellectual bunch. It isn't about glorifying violence or death or suffering. It's about tactics, strategy and just hanging out with your buds pushing cardboard counters around.
Let's not make more of it than it is. It's just a hobby.
