I can appreciate the quality of any figure in any period if it is attractively presented.<BR/>Even simple green cloths can look good if the buildings, trees and other features are well done.<BR/>Now that i have plenty of figures I'm of a mind that armies from twenty or more years ago in my collection are in need of a revamp to keep that presentation standard up.<BR/>Having said all that, for me to get excited about a period at a show still requires the players to give evidence that they have fun. No fun means no enjoyment which means that there is no enthusiasm to progress.marinergrimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393687295535460527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34346082.post-28427094832374701812007-05-12T19:46:00.000-07:002007-05-12T19:46:00.000-07:00I've long been attracted to campaigns . . . and ha...I've long been attracted to campaigns . . . and have run a few of them in various periods.<BR/><BR/>Once I get some time from getting our house set up, I plan to do a lot of painting and get a bunch of Saxe-Bearsteiners on the tabletop.<BR/><BR/>In the meantime, I'll take a look at re-basing some of my GNW troops for Tricorne Wars so that we can playtest the "command and control" aspects of the rules a bit later this summer.<BR/><BR/>I guess that I came to historical miniature gaming through Fantasy Role-Playing. Of course it helped that I worked in a game store and got invited to play by some of those fellows who had purchased some Ancients armies.<BR/><BR/>My first command was the left flank of a Seleucid army. After that I bought some Essex 25s and built an Alexandrian Imperial army. Then more armies . . . and more armies . . . and (is there a pattern here?) more armies, etc.<BR/><BR/><BR/>-- JeffBluebear Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595975572873838050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34346082.post-22754575649332498752007-05-12T18:56:00.000-07:002007-05-12T18:56:00.000-07:00Having lived where there were no known gaming grou...Having lived where there were no known gaming groups, what attracted me was the books. I think I stumbled across my first wargaming book in the library because it happened to either be next to the WW2 books I was reading, or come up on a catalog search.<BR/><BR/>What brought me back to the hobby recently was the pictures of painted troops and after action reports on the various websites for the hobby. I think it was the after action reports well written up in the style of true battle accounts that especially egged me on.Snickering Corpseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11207827630539622815noreply@blogger.com
