What should the collective noun for a group of wargamers be?
After a memorable incident at last year's Briscon, I'm going with "Waft".
How about a "roll?" We roll dice. And some of us sport a middle age roll around our waist.
"Wrangle"?
Of course, that suggestion may have been influenced by a recent browse through the Napoleonics boards. . .
I prefer gaggle.
With all the bickering it could be a Division.
Perhaps a Horde. Maybe a Battalion. Depending on the size and the organisation, or lack of it.
"I say Curruthers, do you see that shocking rout of wargamers over at the other table?"
"A shower"…..LOL!
A dispute
An obsession
A prolong? A Bricole?
How about a "nerdle"?
"Gaggle of gamers" has a nice alliterative quality.
Lots of good suggestions here already!
A table for less than a dozen.
How about "horde"…or better yet, "hoard", since that what most of us do with miniatures.
A frother of gamers.
regiment
…A Club!
A 'quibble' :o)
an engagement
A disputation. Though a cluster might also be appropriate.
A pedantry of wargamers.
A "squabble" of gamers.
Cheers.Rod Robertson.
Very clever suggestions, all. I'm looking forward to the voting.
