MilSim Article from the NYTimes

[Gusington]

I've only had time to glance through and will give it a thorough read later, but I did pick up a less-than-great vibe coming at us '...gamers, history buffs...' etc. in this NYTimes article. Maybe a more thorough read will prove me wrong.

The ear wax removal ads every page were disgusting.

This read as: "look at what the weird red state people are doing now!" slant with gratutious politics and "the guns look so realistic the police might shoot you" undertones.

Still, largely factual with a ton of pictures (of the event, and of ear wax removal).

Ear wax is a bane on humanity!

I think it looks like a hell-of-a-lot-of-fun if I was 20 years younger. I vote the next wargame be held in the NY Times lobby with stink bombs and paintball guns. And... lots of earwax.  :bd:
