Time spent playing wargames

[Roy]

One of the reasons why I've taken to playing Star Wars X-Wing, and hopefully Star Trek Attack Wing, is to combat the lack of game time I manage.

Once a fortnight, plus an occasional solo foray when I'm particularly inspired. Paint and read nearly every day.

I don't regard reading military history as part of my wargaming unless I'm researching for a particular game. I read works on WWII, later WWI, Spanish Civil War, Hundred Years War, Waterloo campaign, colonial campaigns, but don't game any of them.

Are we still talking about gaming?

Haven't played a game for ages, just appear to keep collecting and painting or trying to finish off collections...

Need to get into Solo gaming

[Sandinista]

I find solo gaming improves my scenario building and makes multi player games more interesting

Difficult to quantify. On past performance, very little wargaming. Mainly solo with the odd human opponent game. To put things in some sort of order, my involvement in the hobby could be described as history first (in terms of reading or watching - in all periods but with a preference for Horse & Musket) then wargaming with collecting last. Spend a lot of time on forums and blogs too, mind you!

I manage on average one game (2 to 3 hours) per week 
On the plus side I usually get to spend on average 8 hours per week painting/modeling

Mainly solo with the odd human opponent game.   

I think most of my human opponents are odd!

But then, I do regularly game with Just a Few Orcs and Last Hussar.

I cant argue with that !    I think you will find the feeling is mutual 

Well I suppose I can argue that you should have said "All" and not "most"

I had one game last year and that was solo! Nowadays my time is spent researching, writing, reading and on forums; I haven't picked up a paintbrush in anger since last October. I go to two or three local shows a year and really that's really about it.

Gentlemen,

Thanks for all the participation and the thoughtful comments. Interesting but not totally surprising results.
The fifth category, "I like to watch", besides being a famous line from "Being There" I thought maybe a spouse or significant other might pick it. My wife has claimed in the past that she prefers to watch wargames (to avoid playing I think). Strangely she does cross words or plays solitaire while she "watches".

[Westmarcher]

"Being there" was a good. What "cross words" do you get from her?

One of Sellers' best, for my money.
