I sometime wonder what historically-accurate Early Bronze Age Mesopotamian tabletop wargaming would be like.

Or even in video games, for that matter.

Does Settlers of Catan count? Probably not, right?

Define wargame. At various times I have played 40k, Battletech, Flames of War, and Warmahordes. As a kid I played Panzer Blitz and some other Avalon Hill games.

I've been running some Chainmail battles with some guys.
It's fun!

I liked Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance as a kid who liked futuristic robotistic stuff at tge time

additional info:
A turn-based wargame? I liked Heroes of Might and Magic III also.

I collect and paint models. Never played the games though, not sure if I'd really enjoy that environment as a wizard. My parents are from the era of board games, but would refuse to play anything more complex than monopoly.

I'll post a photo of 2 of the recent minis I've done, and compare them to ones I painted 10+(or whenever 5th edition first came out for 40k) years prior, It's funny how much better they look when you follow some basic instructions like thinning your paints lol. Also it helps that I have a real paintbrush now, back then I would chew a toothpick and use that to paint.

I'm bidding on a box of Hero quest, seems like an old one. Currently it's only at 2 dollars, hopefully I can get it for a steal.
