My Hovercraft is Full of Eels

I must admit that I fail to understand what is so weird about this sentence. "putting the sword to" translates to me to something between "killing" and "attacking" (leaning towards killing), am I wrong here? I also understood "wargame" in the sense of "tabletop"-wargame instead of strategical computer wargames (I'd aslo call Dom2 a "wargame", but this would make no sense here).

Hehe. Yes, putting the sword to your enemies is to kill them. What's funny about it though, is that it implies that Dominions is about putting the sword to your enemies, and this pleasure is similar to a good wargame. Its like saying that piloting an F-16 is similar to using Microsoft Flight Simulator - its backwards. It also makes perfect sense to think of Dom2 as a wargame, so if you read "putting the sword to your enemies" in context as "playing Dom2" then playing a wargame is similar to playing a wargame. Any way you look at it, PvK's judgement stands: its a peculiar sentence, and worth a chuckle or two

To me, that sentence is an enigma, wrapped in a contradiction, at the heart of a paradox...
