Reply To: The Intersection of Simulation and Beer & Pretzels

The other thought that occurs is that the rules themselves aren’t the only factor in the representation of a Horse and Musket simulation. IMHO, a massive game, using Beer and Pretzels rules, but with lots of players and a real, actual command structure within two teams of players, and the noise and other social pressures that come with that, can deliver a much better ‘historical simulation’ experience of what it was to command, say, a corps operating within an army, that a small, one on one game using the most complex and convoluted ‘Simulation’ type rules imaginable in the monastic quiet of an isolated study….
