Title: Am I a Colonial oriented gamer?
Post by: FifteensAway on 23 June 2012, 08:29:31 AM

If I have figures for the following: Viking era, Robin Hood, (musketeers - once released by Blue Moon), pirates, French and Indian War, AWI, Indian Mutiny, ACW, Plains Wars-Old West, Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, French Foreign Legion, The Scramble for Africa (aka The Steeplechase), and the Boxer Rebellion - plus German East Africa WWI if anyone ever makes them in my scale - am I primarily a colonial gamer with some other interests?  Half or so of those periods are Colonial in the 19th century sense of the word and a couple of others can be said to be so in the 18th century sense of the word.   o_o

It's more of a mindset than a percentage of figures thing.

What do you think you are?

Gracias,

Well, since only the ACW and Robin Hood can be said not to have some relation to colonial activity - in the longer, broader historical context, I guess I kind of feel like a colonial oriented gamer.  Add in some variation of pulp gaming and I guess that is what sort of hobbyist I am.  Now as to what I feel I am - well, now that question has a long answer and this may not be the place for it.  And just where did I leave the Shambezi River?    Wherever I did, it's mine, all mine - and the figures that get to play on and around it.
