So maybe the youngsters who directly started with WWI related computer games will just do the same in say, 10 years or so.

I feel so good now that I see there are a bunch of us "too old to rock & roll, too young to die" types here.
Ah, the original Gettysburg. First time I played it, we used the optional "lose a leader and his entire command is eliminated" rule. Woe was I when I discovered that just having a unit next to the square in which your HQ sat did not prevent an enemy unit from ignoring the combat unit immediately in its face so as to attack across the square corner into the next one and zap your HQ unit.
Oh, well. I guess I was always kind of a six-sided guy...
