    The difference between what?

    Those map games and shoving little plastic soldiers over the table top?
    Those map games are huge, having many armies on the map and managing your state. While shoving soldiers over the table top usually just involves your one army with no state management at all and the map just consisting of the game you are playing.

      Our context is the tweet in the post and that mentions the difference between the Ottoman and Byzantine empires.

        The context is also my comment you replied to. Didn’t know what difference you meant.

        To make it simple: the Orthodox Christian Byzantine Empire was the eastern Roman Empire that continued on after the western Roman Empire went under.

        The Ottoman Empire is the Muslim Empire that took over after the Byzantine Empire got conquered.
