Hmmm. I think the big problem with a game called Cannon Fodder that portrays soldiers being treated as disposable and thrown away in some ultimately pointless game is that it's perhaps a little too on the nose in the context of World War I, especially in the UK. So many lives were lost for so little that it's part of the reason appeasement had such support early in World War II. The Royal Legion (which is associated with the poppy emblem) also seems to have gotten increasingly jingoistic as old soldiers die off and old wars go from living memory to history.
