Anyone who indulges in RTS is not a wargamer and is a traitor to the cause of keeping wargaming alive.ORIGINAL: Matti Kuokkanen
You got something against RTS?
"RTS" itself is a blatant lie, because anything that takes place in "real time" would take too long to be a playable game. "RTS" just describes game engines that allow the game to play while the poor wargamer has to sit and fiddle with his dingy - i mean, "joystick" - in order to try and keep up with events that are being depicted in a time flow so much faster than real time that the player cannot keep up with the computer's superior informatiion crunching speed.
Just imagine Napoleon - "Jeez, I gotta figure out in ten seconds how to counter Charles's apparent thrust at my left flank, a move that took two days in reality, whatever that used to be before I became a RTS general."
