Came across the Bunnies and Burrows ttrpg, and it made me wonder if there was a wargame equivalent. I mean, the Warriors series is still super popular, sk there’s gotta be a cat-bases wargame somewhere!

    Now see, as a war gamer (ASL, GMT, Colombia games) I wouldn’t consider Warhammer a true “wargame”, but the definition has changed over the years. WotR and Root are considered “wargames” these days.

      I won’t comment on Root because I don’t really know it and am not really involved in wargames myself, but in what way is Warhammer possibly not a wargame?

        That’s the thing, my definition shouldn’t really matter. For me, war games are the hex and counter games, in any scale. But I understand it when people say warhammer is a war game. I consider it a tabletop miniature game.

          Oh, that’s interesting. So you would also not consider something like Flames of War to be a wargame, because it uses exact position rather than hexes?
