After years of effort, I finally checked off an item from my wargamers bucket list. I played a Carthaginian army that beat a Roman army. So, what things are on people's bucket list? Like: At last getting enough hoplites painted Winning a game with a Numidian army Staring down Cthulhu without descending into eternal madness |

Checked one off just this year: Win with the Persians at Gaugemela. Had lost every time playing Persians in Avalon Hill's Alexander the Great. This time, using good old WRG-6th edition, won it! Perry |

Ney Ney, I did get to play one of my game designer heroes, Steve Jackson, at OGRE. I was sounded defeated, of course. It was still a dream come true. |

Once you do a bucket list thing, does it come off the list? The poll seems to be asking only for things that are still undone. |
