Not bloody often enough.
Ah well, when you retire to Vancouver we will help you with that.... Meanwhile, feel free to drop in if you find yourself in the quarter. We keep spare dice for visitors.

Television is rather a frightening business. But I get all the relaxation I want from my collection of model soldiers. P. Cushing

Not nearly as much as we could be doing. I need to be better organised.

Three to four times per month on the average. Once a week is what we manage when everything else goes smooth; at the moment, with the house move, we haven't had a game for several weeks. But that's going to change soon!

Three or four miniature game nights a month, plus five or six conventions/game days each year where I get multiple games in one day.

Once or twice a year for the last few years now. That's it.

I tend to just fall short of twice a week averaged over the year :D

Not that often atm. I play board games and RPG's more often than wargames at the LGS. I do play x wing once every few months atm though.

Once a month usually. I spend the time between games putting together a load of new models that by the time I actually play I wind up pulling out enough for different looking board or set of soldiers. If I played more often then I suppose turning up one week with a bunch of new stuff wouldn't have quite the same effect if it were more of a trickle.

Although I belong to a gaming club who meets Mondays, between work and RL probably average once per month, on a good one up to three times. Also try to fit in a fortnightly Pathfinder session.

My regular opponent (The Voivod) and I aim at getting a game in every Wednesday evening, obviously barring real-life interference. Mostly Infinity or X-Wing of late, but 'officially', we also play Dropzone Commander, Warmachine, Necromunda, Bloodbowl and 40K, although none of those games have seen the table for at least a year.

And then there's games we haven't even started on. like Saga, Gorkamorka, Battlefleet Gothic, Flames of War, Battletech etc, etc And of course the (almost) inbound Frostgrave. So many games, so little time... ::)

Also, we have a roleplaying session each Monday evening, for which I tend to make a lot of scenery and minis as well. If not enough people show up for that, Myth is laid out pretty often too.

So in a perfect month, we should manage about 8 games, if you count the roleplaying as proper miniature games.

I always though we were pretty starved for games here, but seeing the overall reactions, I'd rather say we're actually pretty much spoiled!

Then again; all that gaming does get in the way of proper building and painting of course... lol

Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

Two or three times a month.

That. Itīs average though - it can be even twice a week occasionally and then playing not at all for a month.

Until the birth of my little un, I used to play on a weekly basis. Hadn't played a dice and figure for probably a year although I've joined in as a 'spare' in the local club's Impetus Campaign so have got a game a month recently.

Haven't had a game since... last September I think.

Oddly enough, I don't really miss it.

Once a week at least when I'm at home, twice when my friends and I can fix it, seldom turns out fewer than five a month.

I play maybe 2-3 times a year, and, even then, with Dave Bickley's figures; which rather begs the question - at what point do you cease to be a gamer and become a collector?
