I just put a piece up on my blog about rules collecting and usage. What's your PtoP ratio?

I'm tired. it's been a long day deciding what order to put my books in and carting armloads of them upstairs, and wondering whether the Highlander DVD (I only have it because I was in it, honest), counted as fantasy or sci-fi for shelf allotment. Also emptying and scrubbing the horror that was the cupboard under the sink, ready for installing new taps tomorrow, and hoping i remember the PVT needs to be wound on the opposite way to the thread, and marking which pipe is hot and which cold.

I should have just been painting figures.

Apparently, J K Rowling has just reshelved all her books by spine colour, according to last week's "Have I Got New For You". It actually looks quite impressive....until she goes to look for something urgently and can only remember the title and author!

Dewey Decimal, absolutely the way to go... with the added bonus you don;t have to relabel all the books you nicked frm the library.. ;)

Actually, with the fiction stuff I do it by 'theme' and author surname, historical by period and wargames by period and general wargames works by author.

Cracking stuff. I was tempted to do a BAOR battlegroup for Cold War Commander in 15mm, but went with Danes instead.

I remember! Your Danes are cracking. Being ever-so-slightly obsessive-compulsive, I also have Danes... And Dutch... and West Germans, Americans, Soviets, East Germans, Poles, South Africans, Angolans, Cubans...

I've been tempted to expand this, but at the moment the biggest hurdle is a set of half decent rules that folk can agree on. I personally quite like Cold War Commander but it is better suited to much larger scale engagements using 6mm.

Indeed. My project to develop a set of rules has progressed agonisingly slowly, mainly due to the fact that I'm the only person interested.
