The author distinguishes the experience of playing Panzer General from traditional wargames later on:
> It’s a judgment call that’s personal to each of us. For my part, I can play the German side in a conventional wargame easily enough if I need to, although I would prefer to take the Allied side. But Panzer General, with its eagerness to embed me in the role of a German general goose-stepping and kowtowing to his Führer, is a bridge too far for me.
The "ethics" in the title seemed to me to be referring less to the personal ethics involved in playing the game than to the ethics of reinforcing the "clean Wehrmacht" myth.
