Two. I am not a fan of the rules but love the miniatures. I tend to use the miniatures for Battleground WWII games. |
VonTed | 24 Aug 2016 1:12 p.m. PST |
10ish, if you count Team Yankee |

We have a bi-weekly schedule, but sometimes Real Life interferes. I would say 25 +/- 5. My tactics will improve when I get some dice that only roll 6s. |
HidaSeku | 24 Aug 2016 1:33 p.m. PST |
Nine. Six solo, and three with others. |

About ten, enjoyed them all. |
Navy Fower Wun Seven | 24 Aug 2016 2:01 p.m. PST |
Gosh, at least a dozen TY games, and probably about 6 FOW games I'd say… |
Nick Bowler | 24 Aug 2016 2:05 p.m. PST |
29. I dont play as much flames of war as I used to. In previous years it would have been around 50. |
durecell | 24 Aug 2016 2:06 p.m. PST |

Zero. No. of WWII games in the last year: zero. It's pretty much dead with my group of gamers. |

The past three months I have played five games and will round out the month of August with two more. Of course I am playing in Late War summer league so that has been the drive behind the number. This fall I will be participating in one of two early war North Africa Leagues which I am looking forward to and will motivate me to finish my 8th army British. I am still getting a hang of the rules having come from playing such games as Fireball Forward and Battlegroup. Flames of War is what is big with my local game store so when in Rome you do as the Romans do. I have been enjoying the games and the motivation of getting lots of 15 mm WW II painted up. I have almost everything I have for my Americans now painted. |
Mr Elmo | 24 Aug 2016 4:52 p.m. PST |
Zero; but I did play several games of Tanks! which I like better than FoW. More fun, quicker, and no rules brain pain. |
Dynaman8789 | 24 Aug 2016 5:34 p.m. PST |
None, will not be playing any in the next 12 either. |
Shagnasty | 24 Aug 2016 6:14 p.m. PST |
None. I played i game 10 years ago and that was enough. |
PrivateSnafu | 24 Aug 2016 6:50 p.m. PST |
Number 9 I got kids now, it had been 9/month. |
21eRegt | 24 Aug 2016 7:18 p.m. PST |
Probably a dozen, maybe fifteen. Two tournaments and the rest just pick up games. |
Lascaris | 24 Aug 2016 7:23 p.m. PST |
Ww2 zero. FOW Vietnam probably a dozen |
Extra Crispy | 24 Aug 2016 8:15 p.m. PST |
As written: 0 With my own house rules/variant: 4 or 5 |

15-20. No tournaments so the playing fell off. |
BattlerBritain | 25 Aug 2016 5:30 a.m. PST |
I'm contemplating getting a copy of Team Yankee rules, if only out of idle curiousity. Gotta find somewhere that sells it first in UK. I'd use 6mm with it. |
Mike Target | 25 Aug 2016 5:43 a.m. PST |
cant remember- load in the first few months of the year IIRC, but none in the last 3-4 months at all. We played it all last year and I feel burned out on it, want to play more dungeon saga instead! |
Tom Reed | 25 Aug 2016 6:24 a.m. PST |
Zero, I think, but have used the miniatures to play Bolt Action in 15mm and lately a couple of games of Iron Cross. |
Prince Alberts Revenge | 25 Aug 2016 8:07 a.m. PST |
Someplace around 6-10 games. All FoW Great War, as a matter of fact I will be playing in a FoW GW game tonight. |

Seven games since January. Typically 2-3 per quarter is the average. Play FOW with 20mm scale miniatures and create scenarios for conventions and larger team format FOW games. No tournaments or even point gaming but historical scenarios or themed games. Next scenario "Ordeal of the 179th RCT" soon to be posted on "Wargamerabbit" blog. Next game is scheduled for LAX Gateway (Los Angeles) convention with scenario covering the "Ordeal of the 179th RCT at Salerno Italy. Basically a post night march battalion level night march only to find themselves assaulted by German panzer grenadiers units from different directions. From "Salerno" Center of Military History, US Army the following section of text gives the basic background for the scenario. "…..Though the main column of the 179th, the 1St and 3d Battalions, had reached the northeast corner of the upper corridor and threatened the Germans' hold on the highway, an enemy thrust at its exposed left Rank and rear would make the position of these two battalions extremely precarious. Shortly after daybreak this danger materialized, when the regimental support column came under such heavy machinegun fire from the small knoll at Persano that no men or vehicles could get past the settlement. The main bod y of the regiment was almost completely cut off and its threat to the enemy's control of Highway 19 became ineffective. The Germans then counterattacked up the corridor from Persano to strike at the rear of the 1St and 3d Battalions. By 1100 eight enemy tanks and a battalion of infantry, coming from the vicinity of Eboli, had crossed the Sele near Persano and turned northeast, the tanks leading the attack. Company C, which had been ordered to meet the threat to the rear by organizing a defensive position in the open ground northeast of Persano, was hit before it could dig in and was severely mauled. The tanks moved on and nearly reached the Command Post of the 179th, near the intersection of the Tenuta di Persano and Persana-Ponte Sele roads, before halting temporarily. The rest of the 1St Battalion faced about to hold off the attack. Strong enem y combat patrols pushed in all along the rear and the Ranks, and the two battalions of the I79th Infantry, nearly encircled, went into an all-round defense……" |

Not nearly as many as I'd like – been painting new armies and building a new house… |
J Gregory | 29 Aug 2016 4:45 a.m. PST |
Half a dozen, and that was six too many. |
Lion in the Stars | 01 Sep 2016 7:55 a.m. PST |
~3 or so, all Vietnam, IIRC. Mostly been playing Infinity. But it's nice to hear the guys say that playing me makes it feel like Vietnam. I play Air Cav. |
wizbangs | 01 Sep 2016 11:22 a.m. PST |
14 because I had to paint up 2 new armies! 😁 |
