Has anybody else had a go at this? Takes about 10 minutes online. I think it's at:

I haven't bothered this time round.

I seem to remember from the last time that some of the questions seem to be a bit stupid and also that great swathes of the hobby were ignored.

Hi Jim
We attempt to lower the stupidity-quotient every edition  ;), but that's much easier if people tell us exactly what's wrong. Happy to get feedback via PM or at j.oorthuys@karwansaraypublishers.com

Yes, took it (or filled it out if you prefer) yesterday. Some of the questions allow you to make expanded comments.
Encumbered by Idjits, we pressed on

I'll see if I can work up some enthusiasm to give it a go.

OK, have filled in the questionnaire to the best of my ability.

I added comments in section 2 about being a 'twilight years wargamer' and that I tailor things in the presumption that my collections will go to someone else soon rather than later.

In section 5 I commented that I played both Solo games and Small Group games although the questionnaire only allowed me to be one or the other.

Section 6 covered how much do I spend on the hobby. I took the top level because I included travel costs including car fuel, air fare, hotel costs as well as figures, paint and rules.

Section 7 covered magazines and will I tick those that I buy. There was no zero option other than 'other' and a comment. I don't buy magazines any more as they are very hard to move on after reading, take up tons of space. I really don't need them as I get all my information from other sources.

How did the rest of you get on?

Similar to me, I'm right at the end of the penultimate age group.

Done.

Done.

Could've done with a few more "none of the above" options.
