What ho chaps!
The thought struck me after FSN and Steve J recently said they were solo gamers, who does what?
ML

Indeed. Solo and proud.


Why will no one play with me? - FSN

Looking at the period since I retired I find that I am exactly 50/50 solo and small regular group,so .... none of the above :)

Thank you!

Thought I was going to have to round up the usual suspects and inflict a game on them just to avoid looking like Billy Nomates :D

Solo and a few gaming chums, when we can meet up. There are a few clubs around, not many to be honest in Bristol, and they meet at times that are not convenient for me. To be honest I don't miss the club politics and sniping that happenend at our old club, so can't see things changing in the near future.

Small regular group at a mates, with occasional visits to clubs and conventions.

Solo predominantly.

A couple of regular friends at mine or theirs.

When I'm not working Friday nights at Sudbury and District Wargames Club which has upwards of 50 members

With a small group of friends, at various of our houses.

There are about a dozen gamers locally - and we tend to play most Friday nights. We are currently split into two main camps, a 40k based one and a 10mm Fantasy based one. But these are typical preferences rather than any formal split. There are games that we cross-over for, and this changes over time. There are 4 of us who have the space to host, so we tend to play where fits by both schedule and proximity.

Also 50/50 solo and a small regular gaming group.

Solo in week 1, when i work the 14-22 shift (in the morning at home when nobody's around to hear my woosh boom pew pew noises)

gaming pals when i work 6-14 at my collegues house, or when his games room is occupied (he plays the BIG comsims) we play the blood bowl cardgame at the pub.

I put solo as that is 99% of what wargaming I indulge in. I had a couple of games earlier against live opponents and they went well but mostly solo...when I do have a game that is. I mostly paint. There are five or six small to medium clubs within about a ten mile radius but as I don't drive it's a bit tricky getting to them. I do get to the local shows though.

Wow! I thought I was the only one who played with myself.

A right mix.........

Solo. To rules design or try out other people's game systems
Family - My son is a dab hand at picking up rules and is a good foil, but will rarely play with my mates - not enough beer probably
Small, regular group at mine or a friend's house. Corps of my gaming experience of 3-4 chums on a regular basis, could be figure, board game or role-play
Small wargames club in hall. Only once a month now
Huge club (please describe) - Megagames of 60+ players via Megagame Makers. 4 times a year. In many ways the highlight of the gaming experience due to the topic and the sheer scale of the thing.

Not sure where putting on a game at wargame shows with 4-6 people 3-4 times a year and trying to get an interest going in 10mm

Interesting that we all seem to be fairly similar in our gaming habits.

With a small group of friends. Six of us meet every Sunday night we game all periods and all scales.

I have two separate groups of gaming friends. One lot meet at the same persons house each week, have been gaming with these chaps for over 20 years now. The other guys I meet up are a pair of older gamers, like myself and we meet up once every 6 weeks or so for a whole day of gaming, taking it in turns to play at each others house.

Most of my games are with my brother (family), but sometimes I could reach a friend or two, not very often.

I organise a game in my wargames shed about once a month.

I also belong to the Grimsby Wargames Society with nearly 70 members.

Take care

Andy

Two friends, one of them irregularly.

About 50/50 between friends at my house and a small club with an average of 10-12 member per meeting.

large club with 200+ members, and a very large building available - the building was used to assemble engines for wellingtons. We also have gaming weekends - large 20mm Black Powder, FoW comps, and a very big Cold War Commander in 6mm. That one raised £80 for the ABF. There is a rerun on last weekend in September next year. We will welcome visiting firemen any time.

Either with a group of friends at someone's house, or at the club of which I have been a member for forty-plus years. Like Bernie, I also demonstrate club games at various conventions throughout the year. Sadly, for various reasons, my own wargames room has not seen action for some time and is currently largely given over to photography (and mess).

Could we change the title of this thread to

"To whom do you loose the majority of your games? :D

Weekly at Liverpool Wargames Association and fortnightly at a friends house. Also preparing my own wargames room.

Only if you want to face the wrath of Fiercekitty :)

You may loose the dogs of war but you lose a game to your opponent .... well I do anyway ... on a regular basis ....  :'(

Thanks for saving me the trouble. :)

I ticked small club but ours (Redcar Ironbeards) is a tiny club (5 to 8 members) :) :)

Solo, 'cos I can never understand the rules and get bored easily.  A typical game for me is move everything at once and if I can see it, I shoot it.  Like the good old days of Britains' matchstick firing artillery and rows of figures lined up like dominoes for the knocking down. Ah nostalgia, the tear starts unbidden to the eye!

Solo

  I game with family and friends, with the odd visit to the local club.

Small group of friends at home and at a small club.

 solo and small club
