There is no political statement here. I am looking inward tonight, at me. I have spent decades making models of weapons. I could have been building the ultimate train layout. I like to play games that show me options to beat a challenge. A thinking challenge, not a simulation of violence and destruction. I much prefer to play my board game The Longest Day to see if I can outperform the great military minds of the past at their own skills with mine. Call of Duty does not attract me. World of Tanks/Warships does not engage me. I want to push chits/counters whether cardboard or digital. I do not need simulated blood gore and sound effects of death and dying. I don't need a human opponent really. I'm just challenging myself here. So if a game isn't hotseat designed, I suppose I'm not getting what I need. I don't care if the AI is ever any good. I don't really want to play it. I'm not telling YOU what you can have, I'm telling the designer what I require. Tomorrow, the 'plan' is to reorganize my place. Models are all going into a form of storage, demoted from living room status. The train layout is going to priority one status. Wargames are either capable of credible intellectual analysis of me vs me in a study of something that really happened, or I bought it for the wrong reason. I'm going to employ my time devoted to creating the perfect imaginary world (on the train layout), and stop caring what my species is doing with the real one (no one wants to hear me, and I don't wish to offer as well). I welcome opinions on wargames that are superior designs that possess hot seat a greatly detailed recreation of real past events that actually happened. Turn-based, WEGO preferred. Graphically neutral without dedication to unrequired simulated blood lust. You won't be aware of this, but, I am hoping to stop watching news obsessively on YouTube :) I could be playing with my toys instead.
