Wargaming pet points of indifference

[FierceKitty]

1) Western European dark ages armies
2) D-Day and subsequent moderns
3) Sengoku skirmishes
4) Techniques for flocking bases
5) Ditto for cutting them out
6) The ACW on land
7) When the next holy grail of a ruleset is to be released
8 ) How the US should have won in Vietnam/Cuba/Afghanistan
9) Napoleonics
10) Fantasy, including electrical, alternative Victorian, and Chao Chinese against later Ptolemies.

(Some of these shade into mild dislike, but aren't important enough to count as pet hates.)

Would agree only with number 8.

I remember with particular fondness rules for a multiplayer game of 3 who's victory conditions were that the winning player was the one who, in the opinion of the players, came up with the best haiku based on the game.

Anything post-1930.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Anything 28mm with zombie/vampire gunfighters.

[Hertsblue]

Fantasy

Commercial rules - particularly those on tablets of stone.

People who eat and drink over the table.

Youngsters who can't communicate at any volume less than a full-blooded yell.

[FierceKitty]

Indifferent to eating and drinking over your figures? You have more sangfroid than I.

[Leman]

Really, really, really do not like eating over the table, particularly those who seem to be into hand eating chips, chicken etc, and then immediately handle my figures and rulebooks.

[FierceKitty]

Agreed. It belongs under per hates.

[Womble67]

The only thing that really gets under my skin is rules Lawers who have absolutely no give. But a must win at all costs attitudes.

Take care

Please note that this thread is for points of apathy, uninterest, and indifference. There is a pet hate thread elsewhere.

I am indifferent to the number of contributors to this forum who place their posts in the least obvious of categories. Might as well be indifferent as it seems unlikely to change in the near future (and for our colonial cousins that's 'anytime soon').

I seem to be completely idifferent to everything from 1550 to 1900, I've tried with Naps, and currently would like to be more interested in 7YW having build two rather nice French and Prussian armies but it's hard work.  As for Pike and Shottee and Colonials (except for a bit of Steampunk and Pre-Dreadnought naval) there's just 350 years of apathy. 

Which is odd as there was a lot of interesting things going on.

[FierceKitty]

I'm sure that's true of much of our uninterest. If I read a book or two on WWI dogfights over Flanders....

[toxicpixie]

I'm indifferent to Napoleonics and ACW. I'll play 'em if they're on the table but don't seek them out with joy...

And 3.5ed D&D - despite it being the RPG of choice at my club and currently running a gritty pseudo-Arthurian campaign it's time has past and gone.

Agree with FK on 4 and basing/flocking.

I have gone back to simple coats of basetex. Its not great but it matches my game cloth very nicely and helps me turn out armies quicker.

Indifferent to ACW and Ancients. I keep trying them but they dont stimulate me enough to want to build an army.
