When did wargamers start to...

Wobbly base - man who play with toy soldiers who eat and drink much of tribes supplies.

Yes, when in America last week, I was warned about him by their Chief Brewer, Dances With Drunks .......

And we thought we had it tough when rebasing

Rebasing?  Why would you want to?  Get it right first time

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Unfortunately we all occasionally buy other peoples figures which are based wrong. Or the other thing is that the bloody rules writers change the base sizes......QED

Or, more likely, we base for one game, play a bit, then move on to another ruleset. And then another. And them another. And somewhere along this chain we find that the current game works better with a different base size. And then we re-base.

And then there's a flurry of nostalgia and the original game we started with all those years ago comes back into fashion . . .
