You shave and wear a collar to a wargame convention? (Or at least a tee-shirt with no logo or illustration.) |
SECURITY MINISTER CRITTER | 23 Jun 2012 8:24 p.m. PST |
You don't have a lead pile! |
Editor in Chief Bill  | 23 Jun 2012 8:33 p.m. PST |
You've never played Flames of War? (ducks)  |
IronMike | 23 Jun 2012 8:43 p.m. PST |
You have ever NOT uttered any of the following: "Okay, show me in the rulebook where it says I CAN'T do that!" "But the rules CLEARLY state
" "It REALLY doesn't work that way!" |
nevinsrip | 23 Jun 2012 9:25 p.m. PST |
You haven't almost passed out from the smell of the guy in front of you at Historicon (or any CON). |
J Womack 94 | 23 Jun 2012 9:33 p.m. PST |
You don't own any dice. You don't have your own tape measure. You don't read rules you never plan to play, just to "see how they did it." You don't know what an "Osprey" is. You don't know that Nappy grognards can be a bit, er
fussy about paint jobs. |

.you didn't have to explain to your non-gamer friends that 300 was "loosely" based on an actual battle. and you didn't have a book on hand to prove it. |
darthfozzywig | 23 Jun 2012 10:46 p.m. PST |
You realize t-shirts come in colors other than black and sizes other than XXL. |
Prince Rupert of the Rhine | 23 Jun 2012 11:40 p.m. PST |
you can watch a war movie without pointing out every little thing that is wrong with it

Rapier Miniatures | 24 Jun 2012 1:34 a.m. PST |
Editor, surely its, your not a real wargamer if you HAVE played Flames of War
|
ZULUPAUL  | 24 Jun 2012 2:52 a.m. PST |
I would ammend leadpile to lead & plastic pile! |
Tarleton | 24 Jun 2012 2:55 a.m. PST |
If you put polls on TMP about whats your favourite; LP, band of
, flavoured weenie, etc., etc., etc
.. |
Dynaman8789 | 24 Jun 2012 4:47 a.m. PST |
If you won't play a game without minis, then you are just a miniatures gamer. |
Dave Crowell | 24 Jun 2012 5:46 a.m. PST |
If you don't know what CRT is and have at least one memorized. You can"t calculate distances accurately without measuring. If you think the "War of Jenkin's Ear" is just a TMP in joke. |
Rrobbyrobot | 24 Jun 2012 5:54 a.m. PST |
I've never run into someone who simply claimed to be a wargamer. Missunderstandings about what a gamer is has happened. Mostly the other was a video gamer. I've been accused. Almost always by someone standing across the table from me while playing a game with my figures, at a friend's house, so at their table, and the accuser didn't even have their own dice with them. Oh, and often the accuser was at least ten years my junior. |
GarrisonMiniatures | 24 Jun 2012 6:22 a.m. PST |
'You don't know that Nappy grognards can be a bit, er
fussy about paint jobs.' Isn't a Nappy something rather smelly and worn by babies? What has that got to do with wargaming? |
Cardinal Ximenez | 24 Jun 2012 6:30 a.m. PST |
..if you've never had this exchange. Looks like that unit is out of the arc. Are you sure? These bases don't look square. What do you want, a protractor? Do you have one? |

moonhippie3 | 24 Jun 2012 8:34 a.m. PST |
I'm a big scary looking long haired biker dude type with scars and all. People at work are scared of me until I start explaining the battle of Thermopolye, or Antietum, or Normandy, and then I become this big loveable teddy bear in thier eyes that they come to for advise. I suffer enough humiliation as it is. |
etotheipi  | 24 Jun 2012 10:16 a.m. PST |
Looks like that unit is out of the arc.Are you sure? These bases don't look square. What do you want, a protractor? I'm not using your [insert facial expression implying the word "loaded"] protractor. I'll use mine. |
Yesthatphil | 24 Jun 2012 10:31 a.m. PST |
You're not really a wargamer if
you think it's only a game  |
Black Cavalier | 24 Jun 2012 11:10 a.m. PST |
If you haven't at least once ruined one of your spouse's/partner's kitchen utensils in one of your projects. My wife made me buy a new flour sifter after I used ours for separating ballast & flocking that were mixed together. Still don't understand why. |
Duc de Limbourg | 24 Jun 2012 11:52 a.m. PST |
you don''t tell people that you are a wargamer |
Tuudawgs | 24 Jun 2012 12:16 p.m. PST |
When someone saying "The big game on Saturday" makes you think of baseball, football, basketball, etc. |
Uesugi Kenshin  | 24 Jun 2012 12:53 p.m. PST |
Youre affraid to tell friends or family what your hobby is. |
14Bore | 24 Jun 2012 12:59 p.m. PST |
You don't look at every small object and think can I use it for terrain? |
Scott Kursk | 24 Jun 2012 2:53 p.m. PST |
you're happy to actually be able to get into black xxl t-shirts.
your spouse won't tell people she meets about your disc golf hobby since that is the geekiest thing you do.
you hear the word "French" and instead of thinking people or food you think second box from the top in the hall closet unless you're talking moderns which are bottom box bedroom closet closest to the door.
you complained about Games Workshop and their constant price increases. |
religon | 24 Jun 2012 8:14 p.m. PST |
You can't instantaneously divide 6 into 1. |
wrgmr1 | 24 Jun 2012 11:27 p.m. PST |
Your one of the few people who knows what a "Rules Lawyer" is. You can calculate simple math, plus and minus's faster than anyone you know. You would rather play golf. |
ViscountEric | 25 Jun 2012 4:16 a.m. PST |
Ah the XXL t-shirt, more commly referred to by con staffs as a "gamer's small". |
Don1962 | 25 Jun 2012 5:11 a.m. PST |
You have not repeatedly felt embarrassed explaining to your adult friends what a grown man is doing playing with toy soldiers. |
Inkpaduta | 25 Jun 2012 6:42 a.m. PST |
if you have never said "Gees, when I did to roll high I roll low and when I need to roll low I roll high!". |
richarDISNEY | 25 Jun 2012 8:46 a.m. PST |
You dream in miniature.
 |
flicking wargamer | 25 Jun 2012 10:41 a.m. PST |
You have never told everyone about some great military victory you had where you routed everyone in front of you and reversed history, how you would have saved the Confederacy, or the French, or the Germans, or any other losing side had you been in charge since you have done so many times in miniature. |
etotheipi  | 25 Jun 2012 3:08 p.m. PST |
You dream in miniature. I actually do this sometimes. I also sometimes dream multivariate calculus. No Cthulu dreams
yet. |
kreoseus2 | 25 Jun 2012 3:48 p.m. PST |
you have never stood on a D4 in our bare feet. Gamer caltrops. |
SultanSevy | 25 Jun 2012 6:13 p.m. PST |
you mutter to yourself, "I think I finally have enough minis." |
Uesugi Kenshin  | 26 Jun 2012 9:29 a.m. PST |
You cant understand why someone would want to collect the exat same army in 3 different scales! |
Scott Kursk | 26 Jun 2012 2:50 p.m. PST |
You don't have multiple bookmark folders on your browser labeled "minis", "cool minis", "paint", "bday/xmas ideas", "terrain", "really cool minis", and "project ideas". On a side note, I'm not, ahem, fessing up to actually having those folders on my browser and actually occasionally sorting the links in them, that'd be really anal. There's this guy I know
|
Scorpio | 27 Jun 2012 6:07 a.m. PST |
You're not really a wargamer if you start discussing who is and isn't a real wargamer. Our hobby should be one of acceptance, not exclusion. We play with toy soldiers, ferchrissakes. |
Gunfreak  | 28 Jun 2012 8:19 a.m. PST |
You've never been to the doghouse |
Omemin | 28 Jun 2012 12:20 p.m. PST |
you use zombies.
you don't game wars. |
sumerandakkad | 29 Jun 2012 10:44 a.m. PST |
you only play 'Magic the Gathering' or similar. |
SECURITY MINISTER CRITTER | 29 Jun 2012 4:52 p.m. PST |
You haven't gotten into a flame war over the use of Nappies vs Napoleonics. |

You spend more time on TMP than you do wargaming. |
