Words of Wisdom: I find the best games are those that teach a history lesson by providing accurate information about a campaign and rewarding players who plan and react in what would've seemed intelligent fashion in the real world. If the game does that, and provides a little tension (terror would be better, but they're only games), that'll do for "realism". If the game is fun and challenging, without a brainbreaking quantity of memorization and paperwork, that'll do for "playability". If the designer makes the compromises between the two concepts through subtle abstraction rather than by faking the map or "altering historical deployment for the sake of play balance", that's called integrity.
