Hooray! Always enjoy filling this in.

I feel obliged to point out again that like last year, requiring only the top 3 for so many questions is going to skew results. I (and I suspect a lot of us) have very broad tastes  lol

Likewise. I game most periods ancients, renaissance, F&IW, Napoleonics, Old West, WW2 (BA but getting ready for 7Dtrr). I also have 5Parsecs, 5leagues, Zona Alfa, Witchin' Hour and now 7TV Pulp.
I game solo so I mix it up.

Done  8)

I did notice on question "What do you like best about this hobby?" you missed out converting / kit bashing.

I've never actually had a sio-cast mini...I'd be interested to check one out though and see what I think of the material. I saw a video by Gobbertown Hobbies and they do look like they have potential.
My current projects...Classic Wargame - An experiment in 24" of wargaming!

That reminds me, I don't know the difference between hard plastic, soft plastic, and PVC. So I think I picked PVC, but I was going for 'whatever GW and similar sprues are made of'  lol I do know what siocast is though! Anyway, metal is king  ;)

Well, I'd agree with you, but only as a single respondent.

I was thinking the same yestereve! Then I thought one might count lt into the last option, not sure anymore what it was called. Well, the better if we get one more option at this question  :D

GW is hard plastic

Siocast is a type of resin

As usual, the gaming period choices for us DBA players is a bit wonky.  That game alone covers 3000BCE–1500CE, which is multiple slots in the survey, and I tend to play it twice a month with a different historical theme each time covering the full spread.
 
But I play other games too, so I just randomly pick one of the ones covered by DBA, but leave my other two choices to pick among other periods that I also play monthly.
 
Whee!

Any historian will tell you that historical periods are more or less arbitrary anyway. But we have to draw a line somewhere. o_o

Not every survey can account for edge cases like DBA :-)
