SP:WAW, WinSPWW2, and WinSPMBT are SIMULATIONS. Games = DOOM, Call of Duty and all the crap that is made for Nintendo and Playstation.

From the Oxford English dictionary.
DEPUTY get a perspective on things; it's a game; any hex based turn based wargame is that; a game. A Simulation would require realtime activity; and a whole raft of factors that just aren't possible on a PC.
Why would you want a battle simulation after you've been in the real thing anyway??

If you've never been in a war, it's impossible to explain.
Ever see the movie "Apoclypse Now"? There's a line Martin Sheen says..."When I was here (at home), I wanted to be there; when I was there, all I could think of was getting back into the jungle."
War brings out the best (and worst) in man. Plus it's the "ultimate high" you can get without taking drugs.
Anyway, I found a more acceptable definition of simulation...
A simulation is an imitation of some real thing, state of affairs, or process. The act of simulating something generally entails representing certain key characteristics or behaviours of a selected physical or abstract system.

Given the choice, I'll take that definition of simulation and leave the games to children.
