Wargaming Blog

This is my attempt to get my thoughts, battle reports, and hobby progress out on paper. To me, this is just another outlet this great hobby allows me.

May the dice be forever in your favor, because they sure as hell hate me.

I've been chasing that next best thing and falling for the ol' fear of missing out. So when I finally got a second to sit down and play, I felt overwhelmed. I wasted so much time trying to choose a ruleset or scale, that I hardly has anytime to actually play. Terrible. So I took a step back and reset my hobby. I had to be honest with myself on what to keep and what to get rid of. First was the rulesets. I've thinned down my rulesets to just a few that I know I enjoy. Which in turn, helped with slimming down on terrain and miniatures. I've kept the appropriate and necessary terrain for the rulesets that I kept so now set up takes half the time. Now onto the hard one, everyone's favorite..... the miniatures. Too man...
