My only cons...Too many periods... too little time!<br /><br />My only consistency is playing FoW, as I have local players who are always up for a game, but I dabble in loads of other stuff I like, there is certainly an 'Oooh Shiney' factor! <br />And I do find I can't help being motivated by movies;<br /><br />The Hobbit / LOTR - speak for themselves...<br />Pirates of the Caribbean - Legends of the High Seas...<br />Sherlock Holmes / Dracula / Wolfman etc - Empire of the Dead...<br />Any WWII - FoW...<br />Anything Historical - Hail Caesar / Black Powder...<br /><br />That just about has everything covered! ;-)Scottswargaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00581220877007982139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5201864979950066005.post-15162728176512077702013-03-22T00:17:31.156+00:002013-03-22T00:17:31.156+00:00Mad and loving it. :-)Mad and loving it. :-)Ferbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04436554756943270269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5201864979950066005.post-89622199099605507212013-03-22T00:09:10.924+00:002013-03-22T00:09:10.924+00:00We're all crackers that's for sure!!!We're all crackers that's for sure!!!Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5201864979950066005.post-83787098921346281122013-03-21T19:21:28.489+00:002013-03-21T19:21:28.489+00:00True, it's just a shame we don't get to pl...True, it's just a shame we don't get to play with everything we've bought as there's only so much time available for gaming.Ferbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04436554756943270269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5201864979950066005.post-50195185808524926702013-03-21T19:09:53.775+00:002013-03-21T19:09:53.775+00:00I just typed up a blog post that will go up in a f...I just typed up a blog post that will go up in a few days about this very thing.

I have however managed to keep plugging away at my two big projects. I will finish those buggers, but I have three unfinished "side projects" going at the same time. And I can't stop buying either. At first I thought my behavior was "abnormal". But then all my gamer friends assured me it was normal, so I just go with it and am happy.<br /><br />I have this girlfriend whose husband games and she just doesn't get it. She thinks he's got some sort of problem and has forced him into couselling.

I gave up playing RPGs in my early twenties, and didn't get (back) into wargaming until my late thirties.<br /><br />Didn't stop me buying a loft full of rules, supplements and (unpainted) figures, as well as downloading a hard drive full of the internet's best wargaming bits in the intervening years...<br /><br />Even now, I'm normally juggling at least 2 dozen 'projects'and not actually progressing ANY of them! Thank goodness for pre-paints is all I can say...<br /><br />Dave WAlien Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01045383931255460260noreply@blogger.com
