That was very interesting to read. Thanks for that post.
And thanks for Chiggy to bring that up.


Yes, in the end, it is not accurate of course. But, it IS a game, and, the game itself is modeled after the board game. I would like it to stay that way. But, clearly, not accurate. As many others have pointed out, nor is most any game. Chess, etc.

Certainly, a valid point. But, I like it that way as the only reason I started here was I noticed the name, and, I had played the game before. The game is fun as is, yes, the tactics are not the same as historical tactics. But they never are. Do not underestimate the complexity of designing a more historically accurate ruleset. Since that ruleset already exists (but is not accurate), it's much easier to use as is.
