The evolving language of wargaming. Not sure I want to be called a "weurogamer". http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/340184/poll-are-you-a-neo-grog-new-poll-pg-5

That discussion has evolved in a vacuum apparently. If those are the best naming conventions they can come up with then they deserve them.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Ah, BGG and their incessant need to subdivide everything in to confusing and bizarre categories.  ::)

Those terms are meaningless without a proper definition.

Definitely. It's like checking out a band and finding that they're apparently 'melodic metalcore'. WTF does that even mean?!

yeah, you want real fun, go start a thread about whether or not Combat Commander is a card-driven wargame :D

Sure it is, wait maybe not, well kind of, but then there are the dice on the cards, so no, but there are cards.... ah screw it, its just fun to play.   ;D

I've never even made it past the fairly regular and ridiculous 'Is it a wargame?' threads.  ;D
