I've never been able to bring myself to play games depicting WW@ or any other real-life war/conflict. I think it makes light of those who really fought and sacrificed in those wars and is a disgrace to them. Aming these horrific events a form of entertainment is not only disrespectful, they also make light of these horrific events in the minds of young people who need to understand and appreciate those events for what they were and what they meant.
I think for younger players, it distorts their view of WW2, and for older players it's disrescpectful. I won't as far as to say all war games are wrong, though one could make an argument in that way. I think fictional conflict games are ok as long as young players understand it is fiction and are taught the reality of these kinds of conflicts.
I brought this up because my 10 year old nephew plays these game a lot. He was a soldier for Halloween and has been making references to shooting people he doesn't like. It's very disturbing.
