Very good reflection. I will definitely use some of his points when I try to convince other students of history the merits of playing "history" computer games.
"Sad fragility of human things! What riches and treasures of art will remain forever buried beneath these ruins; how many distinguished men - artists, sovereigns, and warriors - are now forgotten!"

"The Nation that makes a great distinction between its scholars and its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting done by fools."

A really thoughtful review that came close to being a personal expose of the writer. I don't think there are many games out there that could evoke such a response from a non-wargame geek. Clearly he was out to experience something different and walked away enriched and subtly better informed about history, gaming and himself.
Kudos to AGEOD for making a thinking person's game.
