>The Soviet Union killed 40 million of it's own people

There is more reason to avoid playing Soviets. But the Soviets were very successful in influencing our governments, educational establishments and media. So they get to write history.

It's WAR gaming. Atrocities as such are not part of the game, generally. In my wargame rules if a side kills prisoners or does other obvious "war crimes" then as in real life the side suffering the victims gets an increase in morale to reflect they are angry and they are less likely to get surrender results in their morale chart.

Some aspects of war just don't factor into it, PTSD, druge abuse, intentional fratricide and other factors.

Most such scenarios are not really gameable. Malmedy, place unarmed US troops in a group. German player shoots them. Game over in one turn.

Totally agree with your sentiments.

The Roman Army were a brutally efficient killing machine and had no hesitation in butchering their opponents to "set an example". Yet you don't hear of gamers saying they won't play with Roman Armies because of that.

And there are plenty of other examples of so called "civilised" armies displaying the worst kind of savagery.

If we don't learn from these incidents it will encourage their repetition.

As Paul says, there may be a couple of scenarios which would be inappropriate, eg Malmedy and other such criminal events but there really shouldn't be a desire to recreate that sort of event on the table top

I always say "if it´s historically correct and in context, it´s playable" although a couple of scenarios I would avoid myself.
Cheers

The figures are from a company called Mannix, I have seen them on eBay, I got two bags of them at Dollar Tree years ago and I set them aside for this very project.

You are right Uncle Brian, everything I owned as a child could have killed me or scarred men mentally, and I would not have it any other way.

I may go run with sissors later.
