"A friend showed me a wargame based on a fictional battle"
"Any good?"
"Hopeless: the troop movement rules were completely arbitrary"
"There was no concept of simultaneous engagement resolution at the formation 
 level"
"No terrain or weather modifiers"
"You could make deep incursion into enemy territory without considering the 
 effects of overextended supply lines"
"And obviously overwhelmed forces just fought on with no morale checks."
"Sounds terrible? What's it called?"
"Chess."
