@Der:
Real war is a pretty solemn thing - after all, D-day’s real decisions involved people dying - and I seriously doubt this museum would go for (nor would I truly be in favor of) some rowdy armchair generals rolling dice and chuckling over this table - nice fantasy though! (Plus we’d probably run out of air inside that case before round 2)
Keep in mind friend, that if it wasn’t for all us armchair generals, and comedians, rolling dice, and remembering who fought for what where and when, it might all be forgotten.
And also remember, that by making the sacrifice of those people a constant living memory in our minds - we honor them.
Axis and Allies was made as, and always will be, a tribute to those who served and a warning against what could have been.
In closing - consider what CWO said, about the museums often struggling for funding. What if an event like this became something that kept them afloat? or kept them inspired? What if Axis and Allies was what inspired you to go to that museum - as a student of history- in the first place?
Remember that if it isn’t regular people like us like us - finding ways to engage ourselves and others, in our own history, that knowledge, and sacrifices can be quickly lost…
I urge you to reconsider. :)
