Must be the uniforms! nfm

] Of all the wargame groups, re-anacting groups, military modelling groups, amateur military history groups, library books on military history, etc. etc., the most popular eras seem to have been World War II and Napoleonic times. What is the attraction? Why does Napoleon beat The Kaiser and Ghengis Khan, and Caesar, but not Hitler? Or am I imagining things, and Nappy isn't actually that popular?
