¿Question #2207?
Tim Synge: If you were going to design a game with a historical theme, what period of history would you choose?

Jrtolf: Apollo moon landings.
murjani1: Middle Ages, on the Silk Road
Andy LaRock: Vikings or wild west.... Or pirates..
Woelf: 1986

Ambrose: Probably middle ages, though I really don't care.
tankexmortis: Post-Civil War (wild west) or 1950s (suburbia) United States. I think they're the most iconic, and therefore have the most developed stereotypes which can be developed and modified for the purpose of the game.
syphon: Elizabethan.
LarryKruger: History of the World, Part 1.
heavymetalhamster: Roman Empire.
tsievers: Ancient Egypt, Sumer, Assyria, Babylonia, something way back in the past. There aren't too many wargames from that time period, tho plenty of euros have themes from ancient history.

bigbadsteve: last week
kirkusmaximus: 1700-1799, the formation of the world's first democracies.
