All of you post good reasons why some of us do not play H2H or PBEM. For better or worse, I always play the AI opponent in any given game, for the simple reason that I want to retain a sense of historical validity in my gaming. I don't play wargames for the games' own sake, but to understand more fully the conditions and tactical considerations the real-life commanders had to face in the campaign or battle being simulated. Don't get me wrong--I play for fun, too, but I don't want to turn a decent historical simulation into a free-for-all shoot 'em up. That's for kids. It's funny--I'm pretty liberal socially, but when it comes to wargaming, my conservative "this is serious business" mindset takes over.
