Point Values

[Glint]

I quite agree that many 'historical' battles have been well designed and enjoyable but I personally, have played them purely as a battle and for the fun. I'm not really interested in the detail of 'what actually happened'.
I am full of admiration for the designers efforts and keeping the database full with games.
I also see that the purists would enjoy obtaining the 'feel' and 'creativity' and I admire a work of art and it's creation, but,-
Like an artist, he can take ages creating a work of art and I would admire the painting, but being a guy with little time available, I'd grab a digital camera and take an equally good picture that can be admired, quicker.
The finished subject is then down to the viewer's point of view. Same way I don't think one can say one type of scenario design method is superior to another? It's the guys playing the scenarios' that will decide that?
To say one method will play out better than another when one hasn't even experienced playing 'the other' is a bit of blinkered vision, with all due respect guys?
