It's finally happened. I have run out of Wargaming things I want! Can't thing of a single thing to tell the family I would like.

What's new and exciting on your list this year?

I have asked for gift cards from a few gaming stores and a couple game accessory manufacturers. If Santa is good to me, I can get what I need for my gaming projects, and some local shops get some business

rustymusket30 Nov 2021 7:32 p.m. PST

History books. Always at least one more I need.

Dungeon Bowl was on it until I found out how much it cost. Now going for a paint mixer and paint handle.

The new reissue of Heroquest. Supposed to ship on December 15…I'm hoping it arrives by Christmas.

WoFun's acrylic Texas War of Independence starter set in 18mm. It's a period I've always been interested in but one I know I'll never get around to painting.

I hit the Foundry Holiday Sale and my figures arrived today. I have some books and records on my list, but I think my gaming needs are sated.

After 30 odd years of painting with brushes my wife has brought me an airbrush for Christmas so 2022 will be the year I try to master a new way of painting. Also have a few 40K miniatures coming as im on a big Grimdark kick.

SNAP!

Had a couple of things as possibles at the start of November but finally decided that it was "habit" buying and I didn't really want them that much….so possibly a non-gaming Christmas which is a bit weird to contemplate!

Nothing wargame related.

robert piepenbrink Supporting Member of TMP01 Dec 2021 4:02 a.m. PST

Flat nothing, wargame or otherwise. There will presumably be painting.

ecaminis Supporting Member of TMP01 Dec 2021 5:04 a.m. PST

I asking for 28mmm Napoleonics & books. My Amazon wish list is loaded and I have given my a list of Old Glory figures to buy. i always have a lot painting to do in January.

Garand01 Dec 2021 8:08 a.m. PST

Khurasan's WotR/Late medievals. I might invest in some 10mm not-Warmaster figures to do Warmaster fantasy solo gaming.

Damon.

Nothing really. I told my daughter that I would give her a selection of three books and she could buy me one of them. I am only doing that because she insists on getting me something. I did buy myself some John Jenkins French and Indian War figures. I will give those to my ex, and she can have my son wrap them and give them to me. I buy myself gaming stuff and books all year long so, for Christmas, I like to buy other people presents.

I've asked Herself to pick me up a copy of Pony Wars. But since I won't come home from my current deployment until mid-February-ish, we're sort of going to Christmas in March.

Other than that, there is really nothing much doing for Christmas.

Now for our Anniversary in April we are going to Scotland…

Lots of Osprey books, and some music CD's

Inch High Guy01 Dec 2021 2:54 p.m. PST

Books.

I'll get sweaters and socks.

Dear Santa,

Can we pleeeeeease get back to normal.

I was in the store yesterday, and between how long it'd been since I last shopped, and the empty sections on the shelves I literally could not remember what brand of tp I was looking for.

I think it was Cottonelle,…
but it might have been Charmin.
I bought both.

Sigh…

tigrifsgt01 Dec 2021 4:49 p.m. PST

Movies, music, and miniatures, and maybe a couple of books.

Tgerritsen Supporting Member of TMP02 Dec 2021 2:20 a.m. PST

Peace and good will toward men.

I've honestly run out of material things I really want.

Personal logo 20thmaine Supporting Member of TMP04 Dec 2021 4:37 p.m. PST

Anyway…things can change very quickly.

I read this review PDF link and thought "hmm, go to try them!"

And that's how I found out about the Osprey Black Friday deal which runs until 9th December.

So this will now be an Osprey Wargaming Christmas for me!

Personal logo 20thmaine Supporting Member of TMP04 Dec 2021 5:21 p.m. PST

And just as quickly it isn't.

Despite the site saying

From now until 9th December 2021 we are offering all website customers up to 40% off hundreds of games and books. Selected print titles and games are 30% off and eBooks are 40% off.

The price reductions disappeared at midnight on the 4th (i.e. 20 minutes ago!). So I'll probably still get Absolute Emperor, but the rest of the basket I'd put together I can probably wait for…

…oh well. frown

It's almost a tradition for me to get a high end resin 1/700 kit. Probably not this year. Prices have gone way up.

Personal logo 20thmaine Supporting Member of TMP05 Dec 2021 6:32 a.m. PST

And now the Osprey discounts are back again.

I had better not dither this time evil grin

Time.

In general, and with my loved ones.
