Are there wargames about cute animals?
-
I don't play tabletop wargames, so I can't personally recommend it, but looking online, I see a lot of references to Burrows and Badgers.

I'm not sure if that's what what you're thinking of wargame-wise, but it has miniatures, and is described as a "skirmish-style wargame". It's also called an "RPG-style wargame" on Wikipedia, though, so I'm not sure if it falls too close to the RPG camp for you.
I think Burrows and Badgers is exactly whay i am looking for.

If the minis are what you're after, surely there are some cute animal minis for RPGs you could paint?
We have a bunch of guinea pig warriors sitting around somewhere. Never got to use them. Its different when the whole game is built around the minis

Came across the Bunnies and Burrows ttrpg, and it made me wonder if there was a wargame equivalent. I mean, the Warriors series is still super popular, sk there's gotta be a cat-bases wargame somewhere!
Still have nostalgic memories of Conker Live and Reloaded.

A wargame isn't any game that features war as a theme, it's a very specific genre of game where you move units around on a map simulating actual battles or wars. Think Warhammer as the most well-known example.
Now see, as a war gamer (ASL, GMT, Colombia games) I wouldn’t consider Warhammer a true “wargame”, but the definition has changed over the years. WotR and Root are considered “wargames” these days.

I won't comment on Root because I don't really know it and am not really involved in wargames myself, but in what way is Warhammer possibly not a wargame?

That’s the thing, my definition shouldn’t really matter. For me, war games are the hex and counter games, in any scale. But I understand it when people say warhammer is a war game. I consider it a tabletop miniature game.

Oh, that's interesting. So you would also not consider something like Flames of War to be a wargame, because it uses exact position rather than hexes?

Ah, so you want something you can paint with your fiancee but then also actually play? In my previous comment I was assuming the painting & collecting were all you were after.

Yeah, we are both D&D nerds, but role-playing doesnt actually require minis tbh. The game takes place almost entirely within dialogue between you and the DM, everything else is there to facilitate that.
