Funny that pieces like this keep reappearing. I am wondering, whether people write things like this because they simply cannot produce anything more interesting and original or there is some other reason I am missing. It is hard to imagine that this is just plain stupidity....

I had a brief look at the translated article, the glaring error seems to be the misapprehension that 40k is a game of strategy and tactics, any games i have seen involve lining up either side of the playing area blatting each other with all the big shooty things, then charging at each other, (with minor variations like blatting from space) and the result is usually preordained buy whichever "player" has the hardest shootiest hero he can find/buy/convert/or twist the rules to invent.

gah, journalists. And there was me thinking that the UK press was bad...(ok, the Uk press is bad, but clearly it doesn't have a monopoly on writing an article first and then going out to do "research" on the topic.)

Does anybody know of any newspapers where they actually just report the news? Y'know, facts n stuff. Little to no opinion. That kind of thing? Anyone?

No - because just reporting the news/facts does not sell papers.

Liberal left wingers only like to play games were everyone wins. Or at least they feel like they win. They even resorted to not keeping official scores in the little legue games or everyone makes it to the playoffs. How many of you have a participation trophy buried in a box some place? This is why kids shoot their mouth off and talk smack in games like call of duty, they can finally put down an opponent and be aggressive with out the political correct police watching, aka mom and dad.

Everyone should win, life should be rosy and everyone will be happy. Haven't you been listening to OWS? :skeleton:

I've been trying to teach the kids to goose step properly and read Mein Kampf. Once they are indoctrinated and good little Nazis, I will read the article...

nothing new here really we all know by now if you play 40k you're a racist just the same as if you have seen schindler's list or the sound of music

The poster said: "40K doesn't glorify war."

What?! That's the most ridiculous statement I've ever heard. Of course 40K glorifies war, it's a cartoonishly over-the-top wargame. War is the only thing 40K glorifies.

But, of course, that doesn't make wargamers into warmongers, and it doesn't make 40K players into Nazis or Fascists.

It's because (manufactured) controversy sells newspapers.

Isn't the greatest Irony that Ancient Greece was the birthplace of city state warfare.

And really she should compare the Ancient Greek Pantheon against the 40K Chaos gods, Tzeench, Khorne, Nurgle and Slaanesh are all just dummy sucking toddlers compared to those asshats.

Journalists, almost as bad a lawyers and should be grouped with politicians as people to be avoided.

I was just thinking... what would this reporter think if she'd seen WW2 war gamers happily playing with their Axis forces? Little SS panzer divisions or fascist Italians all lined up in a row. Or WW2 re-enactors, god help them... though I have heard that there are a few politically sketchy types in that crowd. But where did I hear that? Probably another article like this one :p

All told, whatever the genre, our wars are better. At the end of the day ALL the little men get to go home.

Or, God forbid, just playing Axis and Allies?
