Commanders,
The Code of Chivalry was a moral system which went beyond rules of combat and introduced the concept of Chivalrous conduct - qualities idealized by the Medieval knights such as bravery, courtesy, honor and great gallantry toward women.
I try to play this game with a code of chivalry. In a recent match, I feel like my adversary did not extend me courtesy and acted in a way that was dishonorable.
When I let him know what I thought about it, he accused me of acting like a child.
So this is my question to you: Should this game or any other war simulator game be played with a Code of Chivalry? Is it childish to demand that be followed by others?
I remember reading how the British soldiers complained about this during the American Revolution. They lost that conflict so maybe playing with a sense of honor is childish and naive? Are there no rules in war and I should just get over it?
Thoughts?
Joe
