"<br />Wanting something like this, and dealing with the impracticality of finally attaining it, or some version of it ... I can relate. One can acquire tables, scenery, figures, models, rules .... one can never acquire enough time. Learning to use what we have, and learning that time is more precious than space, is a useful lesson.Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-69928256577946562902015-08-12T22:28:58.195-03:002015-08-12T22:28:58.195-03:00That sounds familiar.

I am currently thinking about where to ...Ross Mac,<br /><br />I am currently thinking about where to go with my wargaming ... and your blog entry has helped to me to assess my options.<br /><br />As I am getting older (I am now 65) and my knees and back are giving me trouble, I am having to be more realistic about what I can and cannot do. Sue and I are already thinking about moving to a bungalow so that we won't have to contend with stairs (we currently live in a house that has three floors, and my toy/wargames room is on the top floor) and it may well be that I will have to downsize my wargames collection. Some parts of it have seen lots of action over the years ... and some have never seen action at all. It would make sense to get rid of what I am not likely to need or use in future, and to concentrate my efforts on building upon what I do use.<br /><br />It is likely that the amount of space that I will have to wargame will also be restricted, and I am thinking about concentrating of fighting battles on a table that is no more than 4' x 4' ... and likely to be even smaller. This would enable me to have lots of small armies rather than a few large ones, and to fight mini-campaigns rather than one-off battles.<br /><br />I hope to be in Halifax later this year (Sue and I are coming over on another cruise) and if you are available we might be able to meet up for lunch and discuss our wargaming futures.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-27748899571785070092015-08-12T12:41:11.438-03:002015-08-12T12:41:11.438-03:00The one I've got is a 6x4, but really I genera...The one I've got is a 6x4, but really I generally only use 4x4 - just as much fun.
