Wargaming
A sad and painful confession...
But to to show the
Presidents commitment to honesty... i am coming clean regards this
sordid
past time.
Please do not misunderstand that this admission means
that i like 'Wargamgers', who on a whole are a bunch of repellent,
stinky, know-all, panty wasting mummy's boys whose sickly palour and
unctuous appearance can truly make the flesh creep.
But amongst this
tide of unwashed festering filth is a core of genial chaps, with a
penchant for history, a liking of rolling the dice, a munch on some
nibbles and an easy going attitude.
DBA
Currently my wargame of choice, lots of chance to
collect lots of armies, plays in about an hour, and gives you a great
game - so it may not be for the button-counting nerds but i can't be
arsed with all that and this game has give me many hours of
crisp-munching fun.
A great DBA resource is the Fanaticus website: Fanaticus have a delve around and
there is a mine of info.
I'm not sick enough to play in 15mm and all my armies
are in the 28mm size ranges including;
Early Muslim - ???
Norman - Gripping Beast
WOTR - Perrys 1, 2, 3, 4
Warmaster
A cracking game of 10mm mayhem and stupidity. I'm not
usually one for the fantasy toss but this game with 2000 point armies
gives a
most enjoyably daft, swooping, crashing and burning evening of mayhem.
I play skellies, mainly against Orcs but am working
toward a human army as well.

Warmaster Ancients
Work is afoot to play this with a range of figures
created for Hittites and Assyrian and figures to cover this period of
time.
Black Powder
We've tried this at 10mm with Si's lovely range of
Napoleonics, not overly keen on the rules, this may be due to the
nature of Nappy fighting and are planning to try again with a different
period... ECW in 28mm.
I ain't been shot mum
I have yet to play this - but it has been planned for
ooh
three years!
SOBH
Skirmish game 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
Dungeon game plus template.
BKC
Played this and it wore thin - but feel a return is due.
Victory at Sea
Played this and it wore thin
- but feel a return is due.
Frothers
If you want miniatures forum minus the banality but full
of the profanity go no further - if you want an honest opinion these
are the people i would trust. Even tho they can be a whining bunch of
arses.
TMP
This is one of the biggest miniature and wargaming
forums, but it makes my head hurt trying to use it and there are some
very 'special' people who contribute, but it is still the place to list
your wares or see what's up (in a safe for work environment).
