Went to my local game store to check out this 'hot game' Dragon Rampant some guy was going on about out east. What, I saw gentlemen , was pure madness. Old roleplaying 25s versus Lego soldiers, 1889 flying Martians vs Ral Partha dwarves. I decided I would run a game and show these guys that even a game as willy nilly as Rampant could have some semblance of order. I told the guys I would be hosting a classical refight of Pelennor Fields next Saturday. Show them some quality figures form the 80's painted with Tolkiens vision not that travesty of Jacksons. Some kid, whose name I won't mention, because he's going to have a hard time getting through life anyway, asked me if he could paint up some plastic Lord of the Ring RISK figures for the battle. I said, "No, sir. Not on my table."
"But, it's all representative." is the battle cry of someone to cheap or too lazy to build something appropriate for the scenario!
