You were asked – TMP link How far (in hours) would you travel each way to take part in what you expected to be a good miniatures game? Average response: 1.8 hours 3% said they don't travel for a game. |

I thought the title meant length of time to play. Oh well, that's also 2 hours. I'm a one hour travel guy myself. |

"3% said they don't travel for a game." That number sees a little low and is the reason the hobby is losing members! Some people will not even travel 10 miles for a game they love. |

I just figured some people don't travel because they're the ones hosting the games.  |

Drive about one hour…play…then drive another hour home seems to be the pattern. Or just host the game in the game warren. |

I live in the metropolitan Washington DC area. Ten miles is over 2 hours. Heheheheh … well, sometimes |

Over 2 hours to go 10 miles sound about right, if you're walking, and carrying a backpack full of gaming stuff. |

Or just driving …
I used to kid colleagues in Hawaii about traffic. Interstate H1 is less than 30 miles. In DC, it's not a backup until it's longer than 30 miles. |
