One barrier to wider recognition may be who the hobby appears to be for — and who it appears to exclude. Many women paint miniatures, but far fewer play. Parts of the industry remain openly resistant to the idea of change. When I asked John Stallard of Warlord Games whether more women were taking an interest in his products, he bristled. “You had to get that one in, didn’t you?” he snapped. “Nobody interested in historical wargaming are women. It’s a lazy journo question. Don’t like that.”
