Christmas Lists

[goat major]

So what's going on people's lists.? Actual lists not fantasy wish lists. and wargaming-related not the additions to your sexy lingerie collection.

I'm in a bit of a quandary this year. Don't want more figures for the painting queue. Don't want more books that I don't have time to read. RPGs are nice but I've got loads of stuff to run that i'll never get round to doing

Terrain is a strong contender - needs lots of fill in stuff and some staple items (trees, roads etc) so that I'm not just making do all the time.

Maybe a meaty boardgame that I can leave set up for solo play for a few months. Hex and counter drudgefest ?



Maybe

Hex and counter drudgefest ?

Its official name is Advanced Squad Leader.

[World2dave]

Probably nothing on my list. Just ordered a few things for myself and had a birthday, so feeling sorted for the time being.

[goat major]

is this the first time you've had a birthday near Christmas then ?

[World2dave]

Not necessarily.

[levied troop]

He’s had quite a lot of birthdays near Christmas.

There’s nothing I really need, beyond Grand Manner to start selling plain resin buildings again.

[goat major]

so we've now had two wargamers saying they dont need any stuff and won't be getting anything. This is that dream again isn't it ? the one where I am forced to go to the TMP xmas party

I think I'd like some buildings to go with my 30mm S/Smiths 18thC. Maybe smaller 20mm farm building types, the like of which I used to have half a dozen of but now can't find.

That's 'cos you gave them to me a few years ago. In return for me doing those Airfix Napoleonic kits if I recall correctly. But like a true wargamer I have them sitting in a box unloved and unpainted. Would you like them back? It might cost you though.

As for Christmas I have asked for the Perry's "Travel Battle", might come in handy for holidays etc, if they ever come back. That and a couple of boxes of the plastic Afghans. As Simon says, I don't feel the need to increase the lead pile just for the sake of it. Getting older sucks.

[Essex Boy]

I've ordered a few books and given them to Debbie to give to me.

The ECW Atlas is the only military type thing. She did agree to buy me some toys, but I can't think of anything I want......want to wait for until Christmas.

The trouble is, I've bought a shit load of stuff during the lockdowns. Not going to the pub for three months meant I had an obscene amount of spare cash.
