2016 Great Wargames Survey

[jimduncanuk]

We attempt to lower the stupidity-quotient every edition  , but that's much easier if people tell us exactly what's wrong. Happy to get feedback via PM or at j.oorthuys@karwansaraypublishers.com

OK, have filled in the questionnaire to the best of my ability.

I added comments in section 2 about being a 'twilight years wargamer' and that I tailor things in the presumption that my collections will go to someone else soon rather than later.

In section 5 I commented that I played both Solo games and Small Group games although the questionnaire only allowed me to be one or the other.

Section 6 covered how much do I spend on the hobby. I took the top level because I included travel costs including car fuel, air fare, hotel costs as well as figures, paint and rules.

Section 7 covered magazines and will I tick those that I buy. There was no zero option other than 'other' and a comment. I don't buy magazines any more as they are very hard to move on after reading, take up tons of space. I really don't need them as I get all my information from other sources.

How did the rest of you get on?

Could've done with a few more "none of the above" options.

I moved up an age bracket too, went from 21-30 to the 31-40 bracket last weekend .....

Still lower than a lot of you guys i reckon

Example? (I keep track for next year)

Example - how big is your gaming group - which one?

a) Random evening bouts with a guy who lives locally - 2
b) & c) Tuesday night and Friday night groups (two different groups) -  4-7
d) Sunday afternoon group - 2-12
e)The once every 3 - 6 month Saturday megagame - 12-30
f) I play a solo game pretty much every week - 1

Apart from me (obviously) there's a one person overlap between groups b and c, otherwise it's different people. THe questionnaire insisted on an answer before moving on. Would have been better as an "Other" I reckon with all that info in the text box.

And a quick early result: when will you turn to historical wargaming? http://www.karwansaraypublishers.com/pw/wss/blog/the-answer-is-42/

I must be an exception then, I was interested in historic gaming at 12, dabbled in Sc Fi (encouraged by my son) at 42, have never wargamed fantasy
