    WHY DO WE GAME??????

    Painting the minies, putting them on the field for their first battle. Then taking them off by turn three when they run away!! My bugs are almost there now, 20 are painted. I will get busy on the MIs when we come back from vacation/holiday. We plan to try a game or two starting June 27th. "We"...

    How Did You Get Here?

    I saw both movies on cable, bought both to rewatch whenever. I heard about the game and Mongoose on another forum group. Looking forward to more movies and some years playing the game.

    WHY DO WE GAME??????

    Tuesday nights are fantasy night at a certain "other company's store" in my area. It was night one of the Spring/Summer campaign. 10 people signed up for the campaign (FIVE people in/from the last campaign didn't) Less than an hour into the start of gaming one player had enough and left. Of the...

    Are you an MI Grunt or Arachnid Gribbly?

    I am already planning for the first revolting MIs :twisted: The first regular opponent has placed his order for the special deal I bought. I've known him 32 plus years. He'll like the idea of MIs against MIs. As far as the first couple of games..........BUGS, bugs, bugs that will be me.

    Which model can't you wait for?

    I do "want" a tanker first.......I still "need" ALL the choices SOON. :) I'm starting to pickup speed.......a couple of bugs, then two or three MIs. I am preping 5 MIs at a time. I paint the legs/chests (after gluing) before adding arms/weapons etc. Welll...........for now, the legs are being...

    WHY DO WE GAME??????

    In 40 odd years of wargaming, I have had a changing set of reasons for needing a game/battle. Most of my working years (retired now), I would picture a bosses or a customer's face on an opponent OR his minies (one at the least). I would often become totally absorbed in a game. Winning was very...

    Are you an MI Grunt or Arachnid Gribbly?

    I plan to have the game's bugs plus 12 more for the first time. Say do I "have" to let the MI player use more than 8 MIs :twisted: If he doesn't know diddle about the game..........oh yeah. :)

    Are you an MI Grunt or Arachnid Gribbly?

    Primed/painted(even just partly) bugs should draw more attention than MIs. Those bugs are GREAT............I never have liked a certain other companies bugs. SST has REAL bugs :twisted: I don't think bugs should ALL be the "same" :P Not in my hordes, even if I wind up doing/helping with demos.

    male/ female?

    Ohhhhh, bring along the right trophies, and they can help you remember. Make them feel that THEY are your favorite model. IMHO, as time goes by, more "females" will join and post. Just so they don't try to put up curtains, paint and move the stuff around.

    Are you an MI Grunt or Arachnid Gribbly?

    I'll be a switch hitter.......as far as which force I push across the table. I'll be doing the bugs first. I will be having some different looking bugs as well. I "prefer" the idea of brighter, more colorful bugs mixed in with the dull ones. I have some "other marines" that have been used as...

    male/ female?

    My wife is no gamer.........She supports my doing the gaming. As long as I celebrate at home I am safe. Remember the words "honey they/it was on s.a.l.e. at a discount" :) "I saved money on it/them". I have met over a hundred area gamers over the last 30 plus years. I doubt that more than 10...
