I've always wondered how someone like Alexander the Great or Genghis Kahn would do in some of these games.
I believe the ancient Greeks used wargames as military training for their soldiers, so Alexander the Great would have played them. Can't remember where I read this. Does anyone know?
Athenian: "Right, your unit attacks my hoplites. What have you rolled?"
Spartan: "Err, 38."
Athenian: "38?! How many dice are you using?"
Spartan: "Three D20, of course."
Athenian: "But you're only supposed to use 1 D6!"
Spartan: "Look at my Codex. It says here I use 3D20 to attack. And my saving throw is..."
Athenian: "Two? Pissing two? Fuck off. Listen, we're sharing codex. This is retarded."
Spartan: "No! We're superwarriors, dedicated to a life of warfare, we're uberleet! The codex stays..."
Athenian: "No it fucking doesn't!" (Lunges over table knocking over figures in attempt to grab codex off Spartan.)
Spartan: "Be like that! See if I care! I'm off down the road to play with those Persians that have moved in. And I bet they smell better than you do, ner!"
etc.
