Thanks for sharing. As someone that used to be a Marshall for Wargame... I get it. I do think that Wargame does not have to be so... "far from reality" let say. I am the one that made the devs turn the burratino from a devastating weapon into a showy area of effect denial. That was a complex decision to take at the time. And i can tell you. I knew deeply what this does to civilians. I do think that playing these kind of games is important to understand the impact of these weapons too. In Wargame, you do learn that these units are deeply deeply deeply important and that using these weapons means putting yourself in danger and destroying rare things on the other side.

Yes there are no civilians.. but that is also because you never fight near to cities. Because cities... are deeply not an area where you can fight. Not in a way that can be a "game". And in a way, that is the other lesson we all learn. You cannot learn the game of war without learning about the cost of it. In real term of blood.
