Title: The Great Wargames Survey 2019
Post by: GuyB on August 06, 2019, 03:06:38 PM
Hi all,

We at Wargames, Soldiers and Strategy are running our annual Wargames Survey. This year we have some rewards for everyone who enters, courtesy of Rubicon Models (tank commanders), Wargames Atlantic (halfling or space grognards) and Sarissa Precision (an  MDF bike with shed), plus the usual raffle prize draw for entering. We're asking a small amount to cover postage for the rewards, but they are otherwise free.

Your feedback gives us data on how well the hobby is doing and what the trends are. You can fill out the survey at:

Survey done, I look forward to seeing what the rest of the people think, and
if there are any big changes since last year.

Did mine a couple of days back. I was interested to see the questions this year.

If I was running a survey, I would be interested in seeing a question around the buying cycle. Are people buying as much as they used to, or, as we are constantly told the hobby is ageing, are people selling down or limiting their purchases?

My buying patterns have changed - I am much more focused on one or two games (rules) than previously.

I'll ask our data analysts if that's an option. We have asked pretty consistently about planned expenses, so there's something to be said about that. As to focus on a number of projects, that might be harder.

Well, we have actual data-crunchy type people working on previous surveys right now, and once this edition is done, we'll let them loose on it. Expect more proper reporting!

I did my bit as well.

It does produce some severe anxiety to guestimate how much I spend in a year.

That's why we ask now how much you plan to spend, not how much you went over budget in the last year.  ;)

Site won’t accept the voucher password at checkout.

If you copy-paste the voucher code, make sure you don't accidentally copy an extra space. It's very easy to do, but would count as an extra character, making it invalid.

Maybe next year we'll have to ask "Did you follow through on your spending plan?"  lol

The answer will be 'No' by many hundreds of pounds  lol

I suspect there are quite a few distinctive hobby demographics. I know quite a few people who were wargaming butterflies, who now pretty much limit themselves to 1 or 2 projects, others who will jump on any kickstarter, and those who are somewhere in between.

For me, I have a longer term favoured period and rule-set I rarely get to play, a bunch of peripheral things for which I have bits and pieces, some done, and some I may never paint/use, and a couple of sets/periods that I like, and can play at the club.

I've seen some of the classifications they've made for 2018 and there are some interesting things to be said. We may all be very different with widely different preferences, but that still boils down to somewhat distinct groups.

I think the line between wargaming and tabletop gaming has been very much watered down to near non existence now.

I find that a lot of tabletop stuff is cycled quickly and onto the next game/release/ks and this is what some wargames companies have latched on to.

So stuff like Zombicide is a good example perhaps.

That sounds familiar... ::) :D
