I can definately see this controversy if the "Indians" were dealt with as
rom-eque mobiles. Do you think there would be as much controversy if the
game content was written so that there were player subdivisions in the
"Texan" ranks based on character background (rancher, homesteader,
cavalryman, etc) and the Indian ranks were also playable as characters
(divided by tribe and social position)? A game like that could be seen as
an online recreationist scenario.
