Default Re: Question: Who are the Bad Guys?

Bill, you well know the quote about winners writing history and that applies here as well. One mans freedom fighter is, without question, another mans terrorist. I started out writing a huge "on one hand.... but on the other hand" post ranging from Tim McVey to Iraqi insurgents then deleted it because it would just have polarized people.

As Marek says, whatever you do will get someone's nose out of joint. Try an walk the line and stay neutral. Present the historical event then let people play out the battle and see what happens. There are probably HUNDREDS of SP scenarios in all the different variations of the game built from the perspective of the German SS that would have **not** impressed people at all 40 years ago. If you wanted to build a scenario based on events in Yugoslavia in the 90's good luck picking "the good guys" there!

The best you can do is try to stay neutral. It's the best you can do for any sceanrio.

Don
