And that, in a nutshell, is the beauty of historicals versus fantasy and sci-fi games: your preferred units and factions can never get "squatted"*, and your minis can be re-used in new, as yet unwritten rulesets.

Plus historical minis seem to be quite a good value (in terms of cost) compared to most fantasy and sci-fi systems. I quite like that.

* "Squat" is also sometimes used as a verb by fans of Warhammer 40k. This refers to the removal of the Squats from both the game and the fluff behind it; in particular, some people believe that other armies will be "squatted" from 40k, which is to say, their model line will be removed and they will no longer be playable in 40k.
