I've often wondered what the attraction is as well, but that's because of how I approach wargaming. I am rather competitive, so it's not the competitive aspect that is at issue in my case, but it is the camaraderie of wargaming. Simply put, I wargame with friends, or, at the least, acquaintances. Playing a wargame with someone I don't know, in a competitive setting, in a public place quite frankly sounds awful to me. I like having some friendly banter during play, and some tangential discussions of the history behind the game's subject, or even some totally off-tangent ramblings on sports or current events. I can't imagine doing that with a total stranger, especially if I'm in a competitive setting. These kinds of things never sounded appealing to me, though I wouldn't mind watching others play - I do like spectator sports, after all.
