]]> Comment on Dirge, a Light War Game from Small Box Games by David http://purplepawn.com/2008/05/04/dirge-a-light-war-game-from-small-box-games/#comment-317 David Tue, 06 May 2008 01:42:29 +0000 http://jergames.wordpress.com/?p=541#comment-317 Not to speak for Mike, but in this case, it's probably the combination of both. Combat alone does not generally make a game a war game. With no hard-and-fast rules, categorization is in the eye of the beholder (see, for example, the dispute over whether Memoir '44 should be considered a war game). However, to be a war game, a game generally must model some aspect of a war. War in a fantasy or science fiction universe is acceptable. Small unit focus is acceptable (see Advanced Squad Leader). But a gladiator-style fight would not count for most war gamers. Not to speak for Mike, but in this case, it’s probably the combination of both.

A fantasy game perhaps, but never, ever a wargame. Not to be particular, but us wargamers would never call a game that centers around “six fantasy figures” a wargame.
