Just finished a game of Kingmaker with a couple of Czech visitors. She exclaimed several times during the counting of votes in parliament "I have Bristols". Which, since this is a nudist household, did not need to be said.
It's pleasant to record that she won, too.
And, no, I don't post photographs without the subjects' permission!
Lol! ;D ;D ;D
Nude wargaming.... :-&
It'll never catch on. :o
Although I could be persuaded if Franka Potente asked me :x
Well, do boardgames count? Though I played a Zulus vs Brits battle under comparable circumstances about a year ago.
I'm considering making this a nudist household, coincidentally around the same time the kids reach University and start bringing girlfriends home... :-\
You know, by then the x-box will be obsolete ,do you Leon?

Not in east Hertfordshire with the rain hammering at the windows... :( :( :(
Memorable events in my wargaming careeer:
- Playing the evil game with a mate in my LGS the sidedoor opened with another gamer (who does not have all his marbles) came in -naked, exposing his manliness- telling the store owner he had run out of toiletroll. All specators were staring for the validation of a German saying the most smallminded have the largest....
-Gaming with Walter a game of Urban War he had managed to shock (pin) almost all my troops and to pass my morale check I had to roll a 10. I did. To gather myself I had to roll another 10. I did. Wary of my sudden luck I changed the dice and rolled to hit. Combining all modifiers I needed another 10. I rolled a 10. Walter raised his eyebrow. My wounding came up 1, 1 and....10. In the next move I had to pass another check, essentially needing a double 1. Again I changed my dice and used Walter's which came up 1 and....1. Ath which point I asked him whether we should start over.
- Playing the evil game once more a Daemon Prince (fantastic in CC) charged my remaining 4 Tau Firewarriors (no abilities for CC) and managed to get himself killed 4-0. For the remainder of the game these 4 were not bothered anymore by any of my opponents units.
- Another game and a guy about 12 years old found it unneccessary to apply the caution requested when moving around my friends army. After he had knocked over the same unit for the third time and finally broke it my friend casually moved over, took the guys trading cards requesting his damaged unit being replaced or he would shredder those cards.
- The guy attempting to steal from another gamer who was stupid enough to put the bag with his loot next to mine who without question redistributed the loot to their original owner and leaving a note that we do not wish to see his face ever again on these premises.....
Three memorable gaming experiences:
- We were playing a WWII demonstration game in the foyer of the main hall, at a New Zealand Nationals. One of the out of town Flames of War competitors passed us on the way to the toilets. As he passed he casually mentioned, "don't worry if you hear anything unusual" :-/ A few seconds later :o much screaming, yelling & swearing erupts from the toilets ... A few minutes later the same guy wanders calmly back into the hall. Apparently he was doing "very well" in his previous game until it all suddenly fell apart :(
- We were playing a a modern (1980s) mini campaign at another NZ Nationals. For reasons of space, I'm sure that's the only reason ;), we were in a separate building next to the main hall. Three tables going with various battles raging. Suddenly comments started about poor dice. Literally all 10 of us were all rolling crap dice. For about 15 minutes a 3 on a D6 was about as good as we could get :-[ Just as suddenly the dice rolls improved, well at least got back to "normal", an occasional 6 when you didn't need it :) I looked out of the window and saw a well known local gamer who is reputed to have a negative effect on dice walking back to the main hall. He had been leaning against our building having a smoke between games ;D
- At a Call to Arms convention in Wellington we were playing a refight of Crete, covering Maleme - Galatas - Prison Valley area. For lunch on the first day we adjourned to one of the local fish & chip shops. We discussed the game while waiting for our fish & chips to be cooked. The owner was looking more and more puzzled ??? Finally he could contain himself no longer, "why are you talking about my parent's home town", one of the small villages between Maleme and Galatas. We explained what we were doing and he popped in for a look on day 2 :D

Which is quite surprising really - considering how quickly any innuendo or mention of Totty or lady parts on this forum gets picked up by the membership.

No-one's ever cured of redheads - as I know for a fact.
