Yup. I'm a wargamer myself and can't wait to get rolling. I recently (last couple years) started really enjoying football. While wargamers do have Blood Bowl, there's nothing historical or realistic about it (its goblins and undead).

There are a lot of historical wargamers that might take a shining on to EF. I plan on eventually introducing at the game store here in Carlsbad, CA. They have family board game night - half of the players are the same ones that come on historical miniatures wargame night.

Personally, I think if EF can get the ear of historical wargamers, it just might explode. The rule sets for EF seem to be pretty advanced, and there are a fair number to choose from, so I would say that the time is RIPE.
