<g> I hadn't considered basing something on history in the same light -
although, I suppose it is somewhat similar. I've not seen any good
historically rooted games in my time - but there are some great eras out
there for the taking.
Interest in a historical period, and aiming at others in the same boat is
certainly IMHO likely to be an obvious reason for the choice (ditto for a
theme) - but are there other large factors?

Yes. This is something else of interest. I know of at least one game which
evolved from an FRP campaign that had been run for some time.
