In fact, without it we'd probably just be playing with checkers pieces on a tabletop with no terrain! Maybe its a greater problem in the UK where demonstration games at conventions are more popular? Such elaborate setups might overwhelm the new person in the hobby?<br /><br />I guess if his thesis is to be valid we'd have to know if there are any people who were put off from minis wargaming specifically due to the time/money/skill investment in the modeling part of the hobby. I wonder how one would come about such data?<br /><br />ZCZombie Chowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00010704042143171523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8563126319893205305.post-91032014779603735752012-01-02T04:21:13.281-06:002012-01-02T04:21:13.281-06:00Trouble is people have there own opinions on every...Trouble is people have there own opinions on everything as is there right. <br /><br />People need to remember its about having fun. <br /><br />It doesn't always mean wargaming either as this hobby involves Modelling whether thats for display or for gaming purposes that again is there choice.<br /><br />At the momment I intend to get some games in this year but again that depends on how much time I get to make terrain etc and get some practice games i'm still a long way off yetSimon Quinton https://www.blogger.com/profile/18001946192905517180noreply@blogger.com
