Well I got the job I went for. It's remarkable to think that an Historical wargamer employed a sci-fi/fantasy one! Could this mean the other cold war is truely over:) Jeremey www.germy.co.uk

Oh, wait, I never could before... Fortunately, we DID know what was meant. Plenty of flame wars when that wasn't the case. ;->= The_Beast

There are some historical gamers who are rabidly anti-scifi or anti-fantasy (more with the latter, actually; I've met a few online who are very religious and fantasy has "magic" which they consider "anti-Christian). However, a recent set of posts on rec.games.miniatures.historical showed that a good deal of historical players play sci-fi as well. Many also play fantasy. I think you'd probably find, particularly in the Warhammer crowd, that there are more fantasy/sci-fi players who refuse to play another game system -- let alone anything historical -- than the other way around.
