In the miniature wargaming hobby, are your activities limited to a single subject or period? For example: only ACW, or only Star Wars. |
79thPA  | 01 Dec 2015 2:05 p.m. PST |
No, nor do I know anyone who is. |
 Herkybird | 01 Dec 2015 2:05 p.m. PST |
Nope, we flit around from period to period each week! |

We are a short attention span group. |

I would have to say yes, but with qualifications. I may have bought figures for other periods and will game many, but my only actual army is Franco Prussian War. It has grown to around 1200 painted 15s and another 500 or so unpainted to cover the Republican phase of the war. This is what I have GMd and concentrated on for the better part of the past 25 years. Two other periods are in the wings so to speak as I begin working on those. |
| Bashytubits | 01 Dec 2015 2:15 p.m. PST |
One period? Surely you jest. I have never met a wargamer who does one period only. |
| skippy0001 | 01 Dec 2015 2:18 p.m. PST |
Doubt it. Some will keep/maintain a core period for quickplay reasons. ImagiNations can recycle your use of core genres |
| Timmo uk | 01 Dec 2015 2:24 p.m. PST |
No. Variety keeps the hobby fresh and interesting to me. I move from period to period adding a little to my collections here and there as I go. |
| Big Red | 01 Dec 2015 2:27 p.m. PST |
I limit myself to 10 periods and I'm sticking to them. No, really just 10 or so. |

| Ironsides | 01 Dec 2015 2:39 p.m. PST |
no, playing from ancients to the future. |

…..what D6 said…… >chortle< |
| tigrifsgt | 01 Dec 2015 2:42 p.m. PST |
If you consider medieval one period. I have Anglo-Saxons, Normans, Templars, Hospitallers, Teutonics, Mongols, Saracens, Sohei, and Samurai. |

Almost, for a long while, 15 years of so of 90% ancients games. But that stopped maybe 10 years ago. db |

Two periods for me – history, and not-history…. |
| Tgerritsen | 01 Dec 2015 3:04 p.m. PST |
Yes, I only game the limits of human imagination. Beyond that, I refuse to game. |
| 14Bore | 01 Dec 2015 3:12 p.m. PST |
I have sunk almost everything into one period so I'm the man you're looking for. But have played others but not in what seems a millennium. |
| Yesthatphil | 01 Dec 2015 3:12 p.m. PST |
Historical periods, really but pretty much anything pre- say .. 1970s goes … (more recent than that is kind of 'current affairs' and can get wrapped up in issues of politics, taste and intent etc.) … Phil |
| vdal1812 | 01 Dec 2015 3:21 p.m. PST |
Nope, I don't think I could do it. As a matter of fact I know I can't do it. |

| boy wundyr x | 01 Dec 2015 3:51 p.m. PST |
Amongst guys I play with regularly, I can think of one with zero periods (he just plays with other guys stuff), one with one period (Naps), and one with two (WWII and Naps), although they're also boardgamers to some extent. |

| Diocletian284 | 01 Dec 2015 4:15 p.m. PST |
I am in that category. My main interest is Late Imperial Rome from AD 250 to 400. My miniatures are mostly from that period, that is what I am actively painting, and that is what I game with when given the option or can chose for a tournament or open event. I do have a few armies from other periods, but they were assembled for some period specific events I wanted to do at the time. |
| Dynaman8789 | 01 Dec 2015 4:45 p.m. PST |
No. I listen to Country AND Western. |
| richinq | 01 Dec 2015 4:45 p.m. PST |
Cleared out my wargame stuf to just have frostgrave though I will play anything. Lasted about a week before I got ascifi squad from studio miniatures. Lol |
| gamershs | 01 Dec 2015 4:56 p.m. PST |
Reverse the question. Is there one period I am not in. The answer is I am not in medieval. OOPS!!!! I do have that one unit of Knights. |

| Rudysnelson | 01 Dec 2015 5:29 p.m. PST |
Nope, even when I was in the army, I played Napoleonics, Anceints and WW2 |

| Ragbones | 01 Dec 2015 6:39 p.m. PST |
Nope. But now that I've retired I'm focusing my time, energy and resources on fewer periods. |

Heavens to Murgatroyd NO ! |
| WarWizard | 01 Dec 2015 7:09 p.m. PST |
I wish I could stick to one SCALE! |
| peterx | 01 Dec 2015 7:16 p.m. PST |
Nope. I game all kinds of periods and scales (historic and fictional). |
| kallman | 01 Dec 2015 8:12 p.m. PST |
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha…wait yer kill'n me here.  Although I have been seriously paring down my collection and the number of periods I am going to collect/paint/play/run at cons. I will of course play just about any period or scale/size folks want to set up. |
| Joep123 | 01 Dec 2015 8:32 p.m. PST |
No way am I a one period gamer!
Heck, even in a certain period I jump around from the scale of the gaming to what side I'm collecting.

| Mad Guru | 01 Dec 2015 11:26 p.m. PST |
Almost. Two periods, but one of them -- Late Medievals -- pushes the boundaries of "period" by including HYW, WOR, Swiss & Burgundian Wars, Condottiere Wars, Hussite Wars, Ottoman/Hungarian/Balkan Wars, etc. My other period is the 1878-1880 Second Afghan War, which has unilaterally taken up almost all of my hobby time for the past 5+ years, even though the war itself barely lasted three. But I'm happy to play just about anything if someone asks. |
| Martin Rapier | 01 Dec 2015 11:56 p.m. PST |
No. Multiple periods, multiple scales, and in some very sad cases even the same units for the sane period in different scales…. |

| GurKhan | 02 Dec 2015 2:27 a.m. PST |
Yes, I'm almost solely into ancients with very occasional ventures up to 1700 or so being very much the exception. But I'm primarily an "ancient warfare enthusiast" rather than a "gamer", I suppose. |
| vtsaogames | 02 Dec 2015 2:43 a.m. PST |
No. Punic wars through WWII. |
| bruntonboy | 02 Dec 2015 3:16 a.m. PST |
What a strange question and I am not sure I fully understand the concept…. |
| ZULUPAUL | 02 Dec 2015 3:18 a.m. PST |
No and it might be wargame heresy to do so! LOL |
