The Loose Association of Wargamers

This is one for those of you who game in your own homes.

We've had a partial easing of restrictions & two friends are allowed to visit from this weekend; provided you keep your distance. Obviously, I quickly arranged for Dave & Damien to come over on Saturday for an ECW game.

And, equally obviously, it being Friday afternoon, I've set up the game, taking about an hour. This means moving my car out of the garage, setting up the table tennis table & putting the mats over it, bringing out the scenery and troops (Covenanters & Montrose's army) from the cupboards in the garage &, as per pre-arrangement, putting everything on the table.

So how long does it take you? Not the planning stages but just the mechanical tasks leading up to throwing the first dice?
This took me, as I wrote, an hour. Bigger games than this medium one might take up to half an hour more.

BTW putting everything away takes me about half the time to set things up.

An hour or two. Longer to put away.

6 inches with a -3” disorder

Stop boasting.

12 inches. But I don't use it as a rule.

its a piece of string

You can get pills for that.

I only ever play on a small, permanent table so it takes me about 20 mins to throw the appropriate scenery on it.

It depends on the game. Ancients or Dark Age games set up pretty quickly. WW2 tends to see more terrain so takes longer

with a little practice you can set up a table like this in only a few hours
