The Great Wargames Survey 2022
« on: August 04, 2022, 09:18:14 AM »
Hi everyone on the LAF!

Wargames, Soldiers and Strategy have launched its annual survey of our great hobby. This year we have many prizes for those who wish to enter our prize draw. The anonymised results are made available for all wargamers on our blog - you don't need to buy the magazine to see the results.

The more people who enter, the better chance we have of getting a comprehensive picture of the hobby as a whole for 2022.

You can enter here: https://gws2022.paperform.co/

You can also read about previous surveys here: https://www.karwansaraypublishers.com/wss_gws/

Thanks,

Guy

Done but the education question seemed a bit stark of choices?

Thanks for taking the survey.

Are you missing any? This is a new question but we always keep track of comments for future editions.

College/further education.

Just seems a bit of a jump from secondary to degree level.

I did two college courses before my degree but I would bet there are more college attendees than doctorate candidates  :)

It’s the problem of international degree equivalency, but we did offer BA and MA as college options. Should we add ‘Some college courses’?

My suggestion would be;

Secondary school
College/further education
University

Just a suggestion of course  :)

Sharing among wargamers everywhere is an excellent thing to do.

And noted!

Done ... but most of my answers are nonsense because the limit on options is waaaay too low. If it's going to be "pick 3" one of the options needs to be "all of the above."

Also, shared on the Pendraken Forum.

Submitted.  Been doing this survey since it came out.

Only one minor qualm, or suggestion; the survery does not include any options for people who produce rules or design terrain or models.  For example, my favourite part of the wargaming hobby is writing rules and watching people have a good time with them, etc.  Is that "technically" part of wargaming as a hobby?  I'm sure there are quite a few wargamers who dabble in 3D sculpting, game design, terrain manufacture...even if it's not their primary employment, etc.

Might be worth adding a few options on some of the questions for the folks who enjoy that aspect of the wargaming hobby.
