What gaming stuff did Santa bring you this Christmas?

[Westmarcher]

As I always I sort out my pressies, then give them to SWMBO to wrap. That we I get stuff I like, which saves a lot of grief . So this year some books on the French Revolutionary Wars and the Battle of Killiekrankie.

Must do that next time. Somehow Mrs Westie got me "To The Strongest" and not "For King & Parliament." Not that interested in Ancient & Medieval wargaming and both periods are the least likely for me to collect minis. 

[Steve J]

Well, you might be able to drop Simon a line and exchange it, as he's a pretty decent chap...

[Westmarcher]

Will do. BigRedBat at fault. Mrs Westie has their e-mail confirming "For King & Parliament" was ordered.

Osprey Campaigns - Tewkesbury 1471, I fancy a WoR dabble and this book had some nice narrative on how the armies formed.

Tanks (The Tank Museum) - plenty of pictures that are not overly familiar to me, covers WW1 to present day, some nice bits like training diagrams, postcards etc also included. Good browsing material.

A book voucher that will be re-invested into something militaristic.

This year, the wargame stuff plays second fiddle to vinyl, which I think the kids see as a 'proper' present!

300 pikemen.

ECW not Sparta.

[Leman]

I had visions of the Swiss then, but a big Toblerone also makes a great Christmas present.

[Dr Dave]

I received books books and more books, but also

Warlord:
RN MTB expansion set
Crusader I/II
Pz III
Pz IV
Char B

So what's that all about then?

But best of all... wifey found me the military history trivial pursuit card set.

[Steve J]

The trivial pursuit card set sounds fun

...
And I might have bought the family 'King of Tokyo' !

the family

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

They can't wait to play it! 

[fred.]

King of Tokyo is a great game.

Nothing directly wargamey this Christmas (mainly as I didn't ask for it), but did get some board games

Century Eastern Wonders (the follow up to Century spice road) very nicely produced game, have finally understood it this morning, after two goes at reading the rules yesterday... Hopefully all the family will like this as Spice Road has been very popular

And two expansions for Terraforming Mars, the Prelude cards, and a double-sided alternative board/map. Oldest daughter likes TM but yet to get other players within the family, as the complexity level is quite high.

I ordered £30 of figures, sent to my parents.
My mum wanted a mail order CD, which my dad sent to me.
My brother saw a desk diary he wanted 1/2 price before Christmas.

Settling up,  my dad owed me 15, which he gave to my brother as I owed him for diary.

I effectively bought my own present.
