    I dunno, I guess I see a difference between games that emphasize the RPG side and games that emphasize the tactics side. I see them as a case of convergent evolution. They started out with different lineages but arrived at a similar place and so look similar... but the underlying mechanics are still different enough that it makes a big difference to me as a wargamer.



    Edit to add: I'm not saying one type of game is superior to the other type, I think both are fun in their own way, but as a strategy grognard I think that the distinction is important. Much in the same way a, say... biologist would get uppity about people getting alligators and crocodiles confused, or something. xD
