How frequently do you host miniature wargames in your home?

peterx Supporting Member of TMP24 May 2018 7:40 p.m. PST

One a month or more.

torokchar Supporting Member of TMP24 May 2018 7:53 p.m. PST

Never – play at the local gaming store.

Winston Smith24 May 2018 8:26 p.m. PST

Twice a fortnight.

Personal logo T Callahan Supporting Member of TMP24 May 2018 8:59 p.m. PST

Once a month.

Cyrus the Great24 May 2018 9:12 p.m. PST

At least 4 a month.

SultanSevy24 May 2018 9:14 p.m. PST

Once or twice a month.

Toaster24 May 2018 10:06 p.m. PST

Weekly, I'm the one with the terrain.

Aim for once a month but the yearly average is eight or nine games. This includes designing the scenario, writing up the scenario, painting required miniatures as needed, maybe some special terrain pieces, play the scenario with friends, then write up the AAR to post on my blog.

advocate24 May 2018 11:12 p.m. PST

I go to a club mostly, and occasionally other folks' houses.

Personal logo Dentatus Sponsoring Member of TMP Fezian24 May 2018 11:26 p.m. PST

Once a week.

Personal logo Doctor X Supporting Member of TMP24 May 2018 11:45 p.m. PST

Twice a month on average

Daithi the Black25 May 2018 1:16 a.m. PST

No one wants to drive out to my home… I live on the far West Side, and all my friends are East or South.

GildasFacit Sponsoring Member of TMP25 May 2018 1:59 a.m. PST

Probably about 10 a year at the moment but I'm hoping that will increase once some jobs are out of the way.

John Armatys25 May 2018 2:21 a.m. PST

Never – I play at a wargames club.

FusilierDan Supporting Member of TMP25 May 2018 3:47 a.m. PST

About once a month maybe less. My friend has a better game room so we go there.

Personal logo etotheipi Sponsoring Member of TMP25 May 2018 3:49 a.m. PST

Once a month, with occasional extras.

jurgenation Supporting Member of TMP25 May 2018 3:57 a.m. PST

,,we all game at our friends house,,once a week..hopethere is never a fire……

Vigilant25 May 2018 4:46 a.m. PST

Never, my house is too small. I play at a friend's and at a club.

Joes Shop Supporting Member of TMP25 May 2018 5:14 a.m. PST

Once a week.

Doug MSC Supporting Member of TMP25 May 2018 5:37 a.m. PST

Once a month.

Dynaman878925 May 2018 5:38 a.m. PST

Once a year, tried for more often but didn't work out.

Garryowen Supporting Member of TMP25 May 2018 5:47 a.m. PST

I shoot for every other week when I am at home. That results in about 17 a year. But this year has been bad. Only 3-4 all year.

Tom

Please delete me25 May 2018 5:48 a.m. PST

Every Tuesday, or Wednesday if I have Pirate tickets

Marc at work25 May 2018 6:31 a.m. PST

Aim for every Friday, plus bank holiday weekend games.

Don't achieve it, due to the players' other commitments. But that's the aim

Personal logo ColCampbell Supporting Member of TMP25 May 2018 6:32 a.m. PST

No room. But I do host games at my church's Fellowship Hall.

Jim

Personal logo Extra Crispy Sponsoring Member of TMP25 May 2018 6:35 a.m. PST

Never, there's no place to put a game table.

Old Wolfman25 May 2018 6:49 a.m. PST

Neither have I ,Mark;same reasons.

Ragbones25 May 2018 7:00 a.m. PST

Not as often as I'd like. Currently, maybe 3 or 4 times a year.

Personal logo Sgt Slag Supporting Member of TMP25 May 2018 9:01 a.m. PST

Same as Ragbones. I have a 5' x 9' Ping Pong Table at my house, as well as a custom built gaming table, with a game well, same size, at my business partner's shop. We've been gaming on that lately, to playtest it for feedback.

This year, I've averaged 5 games in as many months, so this is a great year! One per month, thus far, hoping to keep it up, but I doubt that will happen as the Summer will be very busy. I normally manage around 4-6 miniatures games per year (probably the same number of RPG sessions, on top of that -- far fewer than I would like, for both game types!). Cheers!

robert piepenbrink Supporting Member of TMP25 May 2018 10:03 a.m. PST

Except for solo, it's been more than ten years. On the other hand, about seven times a year I bring a game to a friend's house--board, all terrain, all troops, rules, scenario, rulers, tapes and dice.

He buys pizza afterward.

Stew art Supporting Member of TMP25 May 2018 10:22 a.m. PST

I actually love to host. Usually about 1-2 a month if I am able to square it with other life demands.

Texas Jack25 May 2018 11:13 a.m. PST

I used to host a buddy from my club a few times a year, but recently he had an addition to his family and that ended that. At least until the kids are old enough to come along!

Now if solo counts (and I´m sure it doesn´t), there´s usually a game in progress on my table.

Oberlindes Sol LIC Supporting Member of TMP25 May 2018 11:41 a.m. PST

Never. I don't have enough space. I run games at one to three conventions a year.

mghFond25 May 2018 11:58 a.m. PST

Once a week, 90% of the time I provide the games/scenarios/armies of both sides too.

Personal logo Herkybird Supporting Member of TMP25 May 2018 12:16 p.m. PST

I attend a club most weeks, and do solo at home occasionally!

Personal logo Legion 4 Supporting Member of TMP25 May 2018 2:17 p.m. PST

Not in Decades … old fart

Frederick Supporting Member of TMP25 May 2018 2:25 p.m. PST

Home – maybe three times a year

At the local gaming club once or twice a year
