Heh, better watch out how you use the term 'realism' around here. PvK and I have already crossed swords on this one once. Its not so much realism as it implies real world realism, as it is realism as it implies a logical order or a logical method. In the latter case there need be no influance from the history of the real world.

Anyway, the game mechanics should come first, the more 'logical realism' that can fit in the better, but historical arguements pro or con have no bearing on the final say of the game mechanics. Or at least they shouldn't...
