Had to have a read through my own painting diary thread, so that I could remind myself what I had done this year, rather than previously.  

1: best new rules/game you played?

Irregular Wars (purchased), and our two sets of home brew rules for Fantasy and Sci Fi mass battles

2: worst new rules/game you played?

Fortunately there hasn't really been one

3: best purchase you did this year?

Close between a set of dirt roads from Fat Frank, and acrylic blast markers from Troll Trader. Both very handy for many games.

4: worst purchase you did this year?

Was probably bought last year, expected to be delivered this year, but still waiting. Reaper Bones III Kickstarter. Its taken so long to get them, that I'm not sure that I need a bunch of 28mm Fantasy figures. I'm sure they will be nice when thy arrive (fingers crossed).

5: most expensive purchase this year? And did you regret it?

From a checking of PayPal - Pendraken LoA. And Pendraken overall got lots of spend from me, even after getting lots of stuff from Competition wins too. Not regretting it, but a little daunted by the number of figures still to paint.

6: game you played the most this year?

Epic - in both original Epic Armageddon flavour, and the new reduced sugar mini epic.

7: game you wish you had played more this year?

Irregular Wars

8: how many models did you paint (roughly)?

Lots - several 100s, probably more 6mm than 10mm

9:wich unused modeld/games did you sell/trade?

Traded a few Pendraken Landsknechts, but not much escapes once I have it in my clutches!

10: would you review your year as a good year of wargaming, or did you want more?

Definitely good - finally got our home-brew fantasy rules into shape. Managed to create a set of Sci Fi rules in double quick time, and got to play lots of both. Would like to game more, but work keeps getting in the way.

1: best new rules/game you played? To the Strongest!

2: worst new rules/game you played?   N/A

3: best purchase you did this year?   Painted figures by Kev 1964

4: worst purchase you did this year? A variety of ECW/17th century rule sets.

5: most expensive purchase this year? And did you regret it?  Kev's painting. You have to be kidding. It is amazing!

6: game you played the most this year? To the Strongest. Both original and our developing ECW variant.  Fun and instructive at the same time.


7: game you wish you had played more this year?   Commands and Colors Ancients

8: how many models did you paint (roughly)?   100-150.

9:wich unused modeld/games did you sell/trade?   None.
10: would you review your year as a good year of wargaming, or did you want more? Excellent, but I want more from 2017!

8: how many models did you paint (roughly)?

None - had a stroke which has f*cked up my eyesight so I can't focus

A stroke! Dear, oh dear! Hope you are on the mend and that eye-sight problem soon corrects itself. All the best for 2017.

Same wishes from me, as well, 'A'....Sorry  ....Completely missed that, earlier !

Best wishes - Phil

All the best on your recovery from the stroke.

1: best new rules/game you played?
2: worst new rules/game you played?
Played no new rules or games this year.

3: best purchase you did this year?
4: worst purchase you did this year?
Bought nothing gaming related this year.

5: most expensive purchase this year? And did you regret it?
Not gaming related, but as another poster has done - an MG TF. And absolutely not.

6: game you played the most this year?
7: game you wish you had played more this year?
Again, don't think I've actually played anything this year.

8: how many models did you paint (roughly)?
None. The only modelling I did was to make a start on some terrain tiles, and also some card buildings for an Aliens-type sci-fi thing that ultimately ran out of steam.

9:which unused modeld/games did you sell/trade?
Sell?

10: would you review your year as a good year of wargaming, or did you want more?
Terrible, I did practically nothing this year at all. Hopefully next year will be better.

Cheers, Martyn
