I don't understand this exactly.  While I am Cherokee, Hispanic and
"Anglo" and I find a completely blindered view of  "...the REAL warriors
of the world are restricted to (fill in the blank) culture.." a sad form
of cultural blindness; there are some really cool European
cultures/warriors.  I guess I am supposed to assume the emphasis is on
the "...for everything..." rather then the "...eurocentric model..." but
it could be taken either way.  Also, if this is a knee jerk total
rejection of war gaming, say the SYW (I don't have any armies for this
but it's a good example,) just because it is euro-centric then it's as
bad as only seeing history/war games thru European Eyes.

Yes, just as some European (and to bring this back On-Topic  <grin>) do
some of the not yet cultures of the SF war game genres.
