Welcome to my strange alternative world of wargaming with toy soldiers: a game for boys from twelve years of age to one hundred and fifty and for that more intelligent sort of girl who likes boys' games and books (HG Wells, Little wars)
lol, I've seem similar posts and I agree. We used all of the reading & math involed in 40k to help convince the parents of one of the 'little kids' @ the game shop that this was ok for him all those years ago (he's now in his 3rd year of college).
Dear Cheef It was a selling point in the GW where I worked that wargaming taught literacy, arithmetic and social interaction skills. The latter meant that we got many autistic kids. It seemed to help them. John
Holy crap I'm an underachiever! As much D&D as I played in High School they should have gave me a Medical Degree along with my Diploma.
