Why do so many people here in Veeky Forums don't like skirmish wargames?
Is it because the really low model count? Is it because you don't think they're strategic? Is it because you like Warhammer/40K too much?
Not trying to bait or get a 40k hate thread or anything, just really asking for your honest opinions.
I myself have played a LOT of wargames, from WHF, 40K, Flames of War, Field of Glory, Infinity and Warmahordes to SoBaH, LOTR SBG, Battle Companies, Mordheim, etc. And I find that whenever someone starts a thread about skirmish-level games, there are some people who love them and some people who really hate them.
What I personally feel is that sometimes it doesn't feel that much strategic, mainly because most skirmish games don't really offer good scenarios and instead the game turns into a big mess in the middle where there are no tactics involved but throwing the fucking dice. The truth is, this doesn't have to happen, and there are many games out there that avoid it completely.
