You were asked – TMP link What percentage of your wargame purchases – books, troops, terrain and rules – do you still have with you? Out of everything you've purchased, please: not last month's bargains. Average response: 71.86% |

I've given stuff away, but it didn't even make a dent! |

I, too have sold off/given stuff away, but it just creates a vacuum in my house, and nature abhors a vacuum… |

Awhile back I was refreshing the paint on some Airfix Napoleonic French that go back about 45 years. I paused on one figure and remembered some of the battles he must have taken part in. Without too much further thought, I painted a Legion of Honor ribbon on him. |

Probably 85%. I like what Bob posted though. |

I still have the vast majority of my stuff. I stayed at home during college and was married in my own place when I went to the service so my mom and wife never tossed out my collection. I never had to downsize, but I have changed scales a few times or exited a time period, no more Napoleonics. But I always more than made up the losses. Mike Bunkermeister Creek

Mine goes back to the remains of my Arifx 20mm soldiers I made childish wargames out of in the 60's. Many were lost over the years, but there's still a good box of various types. Needless to say, little else has been tossed. |

My AWI armies include Scruby 30mm miniatures bought in 1950, my first metal. (Previousy had a lot of Airfix.) Of the 50 first bought, about 20 still survive and are regularly used. The rest are broken or lost. |
