Well, war isn't a nice context at all. I don't think that is the point.

Ah, if only World War Two wouldn't have happened. There would be all those people allowed not to be dead, of course. And our view on war might have stayed "Dulce et decorum est". There should be something dark and depressing about RP's that take place in war, even if it is beneath the surface. 

Also, I think the Thirty Years War is underrepresented. If you are going to do some battle-writing, might as well add frilly collars to the mix.
