Hi, Had some time today at work to let my mind wander. In addition to sketching out some ideas about the size of my table and what kind of collections I would have in a perfect wargaming / ideal wargaming world, I started thinking about my wargaming bucket list. *Did a brief search of topics to make sure that this hasn't been discussed already. Without spending too much time on this, here's a draft of my wargaming bucket list. - attend one SOA Battle Day
- attend Historicon as well as SALUTE
- have an article or three published (and well regarded and received) in the new Miniature Wargames and or Slingshot
- running a game at LITTLE WARS (and perhaps receiving an award)
- finding a set of rules that I'm completely happy with |

The last one might be a toughie …  Phil Mine? Getting back on to those 10mm FPW armies I bought and organised 10 years ago … I am hoping to get to the Kulmbach show this year … (and that'll definitely put a tick in a currently empty box) |

Since I have a sever case of "Oooo, Shiney", it prohibits me from having a gaming bucket list. Dave |

Its the perfect little war for 1 to 1 gaming.
I would also like to get a posse to do some board megagames, like Europa.
Probably some ACW also. |

ASAP – Start WW2 using AB miniatures for the forthcoming TFL set Chain of Command.
Next years new project will be 1/1200 Napoleonic ships using GHQ and Langton, for War of 1812. In the meantime there is masses to add to my current collections. One day I would love to attend Historicon but I've not even made my local show, Salute, for the last three years so I'm not holding my breath for a visit across the pond just yet. |
| Martin Rapier | 02 May 2013 5:14 a.m. PST |
I've already done most of the things I'd hoped to do, but I am quite task oriented:) There a few more things: Gravelotte-St Privat and Sedan
Finally write the prefect set of rules for WW2 company, battalion and brigade level engagements respectively.
Actually go on a battlefield tour of Flanders. Perhaps when the kids have finally left.
Go to Tankfest. |

I want to go to Salute once before I kick the bucket (in the U.S. so not real easy). |
 Parzival | 02 May 2013 11:40 a.m. PST |
Just having fun. Might do Historicon or Gen Con some day for kicks, but if I never do, I'll have no regrets over it. |
| John the OFM | 02 May 2013 5:39 p.m. PST |
The Wyoming Massacre WAS on my bucket list, but I will be running it again for the 3rd or 4th time on our Club's Holy Day of Obligation, Founders Day, May the 25th. |
