I used to do a lot of massed gaming but now my son is my main playing buddy so we do a lot more skirmish gaming in 25/28mm.<br /><br />Strange Aeons is indeed one of those games - sure you might have a hundred or so figs at the moment, but look at the variety of scenarios you can do with those. 100 figs barely gets you a single army in anything else.<br /><br />But yes, gaming is addictive and yes you can spend wads of cash on it. But at least it isnt booze, horse racing or cheap women and it gets you time with friends - at least thats how I justify it to my wife!<br /><br />But whatever you do - its all about having fun buddy!Paul O'Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611720164170399684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28027315.post-75746229917804281962012-06-11T21:45:29.468-06:002012-06-11T21:45:29.468-06:00With my VS System group increasingly losing intere...With my VS System group increasingly losing interest in playing I think it's a natural evolution for me to start moving to other things. My ever-growing collection of board games is evidence of that.<br /><br />For miniatures, I originally started with 40k even though I hardly ever paint and even less frequently play. Funnily enough I actually put together a squad of Necrons yesterday rather than working on Strange Aeons stuff though! Took longer than I remember to do, but they look pretty nice getting added to the rest of them. Shame the new codex isn't that good...even though I never played Necrons with the OLD one. I just love those models.<br /><br />And that Sedition Wars stuff, god those minis look good.Obsidian3Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03987358994076703659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28027315.post-34268904359449441902012-06-11T21:19:42.814-06:002012-06-11T21:19:42.814-06:00It is all about the enjoyment.

To me it is sometimes the collecting more than the gaming that is the exciting part.<br /><br />Oddly when it comes to Strange Aeons I am both very motivated as I am with my Old West Figures...I have piles and piles of 40k and Fantasy just laying about and even pirates, WW2 Germans and Gladiators...<br /><br />I bought several of the Historical GW games Legends of the High Seas and Old West along with Gladiator. Along comes Strange Aeons into the mix now...heh, then I find Black Gultch rules for the Old West and just got into 28mm WW2 with Iron Ivan, which is amazing stuff, detail but simple rules with variety all over and the books are priced right. Plus you can play a platoon game or a small skirmish squad game between Disposable Heroes and Point Blank.styxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149216774007558819noreply@blogger.com
