What's hot?

What's hot for my little circle -

1:600th scale WW2 and ACW (I just play with other peoples toys, so far)

MDF buildings (including building a Bronze Age city of my own design!)

Skirmish games (Down to most of us reaching an age where we can't be certain of living long enough to finish a full army?  )

On FKs point - we played a very enjoyable series of games recently, set in the FPW and using "Legends of the Old West" rules and another series using the venerable "Retinue" rules with Rus, Frankish and Byzantine forces.

Really?

Gladiators?
Iron Age tribal cattle raiding?
Scouts and foragers?
Medieval tournament melees and jousting?
Border Reivers?
Samurai honour duels?
Skirmishers clashing?
Viking village raids?
Pirate swashbuckling?
WWI trench raids?
Etc...

Yep. Great cinema, dull gaming.

FK: are you saying skirmish games are limited, without even having the excuse of being linear?

You are either a very queer fish or you are doing it very, very wrong!

However, if skirmish doesn't float your boat then your posts show you find plenty of other wargaming options, so it's all good.

The world is big enough for all of us. Except religious believers, instant-coffee drinkers,  and country and western fans.

However in gaming terms I'm playing a lot of Saga Crescent and Cross.

Moreover I'm playing in 10mm with multi figures per base and much bigger armies (10-12 points) than 28mm Saga viking games (4-6 points), and it's very good indeed.

Ive looked at SAGA, can you post a battle report using 10mm ?

I'm interested to hear more about this. I thought about doing a similar project - my 28mm Saga figures are based on 2p pieces (approx 25mm) and I thought about using the same basing with 10mm, but with a few figures per base.

Some of the best Saga games we have had are with 3 warbands a side, which were probably 12pts a side. So bigger games in 10mm sound good. But I decided that I had too many projects on the go, and it would be hard work to get the rest of my gaming group interested.

But I would like to see what figures you have put together for the various factions.
