Stupidly popular, but some serious flaws in the way
they think. Of course, when your goal is to produce a
tournament ruleset so that you fight ancient Egyptians
against medieval Koreans (who happen to have Aztec
allies).  Armies line up from one side of the table to
the other, with no room for flanking maneuvers or any
sort of more complex thinking than "Run forward and
die."  You can't tell the difference between Viking
raiders and Roman Legions.  

Oh, and they never heard of horse archery.
