Title question had to be shortened up, but pretty much says it all. How many miniatures games do you participate in a given month? If it is miniatures, it counts.

jekinder26 Mar 2024 8:56 a.m. PST

one

Frederick Supporting Member of TMP26 Mar 2024 9:12 a.m. PST

Usually one but with the current campaign, often two or three

At my game warren Northridge CA this week there are three games on tap. The increased gaming mainly due to several cancelled weather related games in Feb or early March.

Monday past was FOW in Berlin 1945 Version 3.0 rules

Wednesday a small corps size Napoleonic scenario testing Fire and charge rules actions from the group rules.

Saturday either Victory at Sea patio sized 1/700 scenario, or if it rains, indoors with Blood and Plunder gaming.

Typically plan one scenario game each week and bonus mid-week game once per month with the retired players.

So…..4-5 games per month on average.


Game Warren plays on rotation basis:
Blood and Plunder – 28mm with ships or land actions
Ancients – Clash of Empires 25/28mm
War Spanish Succession – 25mm
AWI – 28mm
Napoleonic – 25/28mm
ACW – 15mm
WWI – Flames of War sub-variants 20mm
WWII – Flames of War 15mm and 20mm collections
Wings of Glory/war
Oak and Iron Pirate naval
Victory at Sea – 1/700 collection on patio

Currently 4 or 5 games a month.

Every Tuesday night we play a game of something usually at someone's home. On of the Rampant family at least once a month. Otherwise it is someone's current project.

Also try to get in a game on a couple of Saturdays if my honey do list is not excessive.

3–10. DBA and DBN one day each month and several games per session, plus other games too whne possible.

Fitzovich Supporting Member of TMP26 Mar 2024 10:23 a.m. PST

8-9
Our group Big Muddy Historical Gaming Alliance – St. Louis has a game each Thursday in which I participate and a monthly game day which account for gfive.

I also play Pike & Shotte at a friends house each week as well.

bobspruster Supporting Member of TMP26 Mar 2024 10:56 a.m. PST

One if I'm lucky.

FusilierDan Supporting Member of TMP26 Mar 2024 11:39 a.m. PST

Apparently, 2.66

Personal logo Sgt Slag Supporting Member of TMP26 Mar 2024 12:54 p.m. PST

Usually 1 every 5-6 weeks (RPG using miniatures); full-blown mini's games (mass battles) are around 1 every 12-18 months. [Grinding/gnashing teeth…] Cheers!

One if I'm lucky.

Unless dreams count? I've been doing games with dead wargamers lately.

Louis XIV Supporting Member of TMP26 Mar 2024 3:40 p.m. PST

About 4 but tournaments and things bring the number to more than 48 total for the year.

Personal logo gamertom Supporting Member of TMP26 Mar 2024 4:04 p.m. PST

Usually 4-6. This past month will be an exception due to playing several games at Jacksonville Garrison's SkirmishCon. I play every Friday and 90% of the time that game is miniatures. I also play once every 2-3 Wednesdays with several other retirees and that is always a miniatures game. So some months 6 miniature games and others 4 games.

Personal logo Parzival Supporting Member of TMP26 Mar 2024 4:59 p.m. PST

Depends on the month. On average, one or fewer.

Grattan54 Supporting Member of TMP26 Mar 2024 5:07 p.m. PST

One for sure. Then I will try to get in a couple of solo games if I can.

The Last Conformist26 Mar 2024 10:41 p.m. PST

Varies a lot, but the average since 2020 (when the pandemic and fatherhood shook up things) is a bit more than one miniatures play per month.

ZULUPAUL Supporting Member of TMP27 Mar 2024 1:36 a.m. PST

none generally

PzGeneral27 Mar 2024 3:54 a.m. PST

We try for one a week….

And now that I'm retired, I sometimes see if anyone is available for an extra small game during the week….

OH! And sometimes Mrs. PzGeneral indulges me. Just last Sunday we played a learning game of Grimdark Future. We fought to a draw….

All.

Martin Rapier27 Mar 2024 2:17 p.m. PST

We probably manage 3 to 4 figure games a month, and I solo play a similar number.

Oberlindes Sol LIC Supporting Member of TMP29 Mar 2024 5:58 p.m. PST

Lately, I play maybe 6 miniatures games a year, so 0.5 games per month.
