Are question about simulation on topic?

Question

Is this question or type of question acceptable or not? Why?

As a side note, would asking about the historical accuracy of a game be on topic?

Answer 1

I was one of the ones who voted to close this one. The reasons for this aren't entirely obvious to me, so I can understand why you asked the question. A few gut reactions to this:

• There are other places on the Internet to ask this question and you will probably get a pretty good answer elsewhere.
• I feel like there might be a risk that less 'serious' history questions might discourage professional historians to contribute.
• There aren't going to be many questions like this, so we are not losing a great deal by closing them.
• The answers are probably going to be pretty subjective.

All that said, you should definitely check out Combat Mission - Battle for Normandy, it is awesome ;).

Answer 2

Reenactments should also be considered off-topic imho.
