6). The deep satisfaction and relief at returning to last night's matt varnished miniatures and finding them actually matt rather than shiny or frosty.

7) Finding a relieving (not even necessarily comfy) chair to flop down into after spending what seemed like an eternity moving your entire army to a part of the table that required you to stand at an angle that totally and utterly fucked up your back.

8) Finding that it was your opponent's chair and that he now has to make a similar move.

9) Making that similar move (see above) and then finding a spare chair to sit on.

explaining to Ken how you've arrived at "they're wiped out Ken, all dead, you can pack them away again, at least they looked pretty" after rolling a big pile of dice.
Yes, I did have a moment of childlike bewilderment. GM explaining that he wasn't cheating as he emptied another bucket of dice on the table.

Just for that, three of my six battalions will be sombrero wearing peons for our 2018 bash. :EB:

11) Getting to the lunch spread before Peeler hoovers up the lot

16. Repairing your painting glasses with super glue and then immediately starting to paint some 20mm dragoons just to stop EB pestering you and then ten minutes later realizing you have glued your glasses to your nose...

17. When your unit of scruffy irregular cavalry see off not one, not two but three units of regular heavy cavalry. 17a. When that rout takes them all off the table.
