Whilst we were on holiday in the Peak District, I popped in to see my old wargaming colleague 'B' . I've been trying to remember how long we go back and think it must be over 35 years (maybe going on to 40?) , since he and his family moved down south we don't get to play many games nowadays .
He has his table set up in his shed and was mid-game refighting a battle in German East Africa (using 'Comtemptable Little Armies I think ?) With 28mm figures.
Some of his extensive WW1 figure collection and a smattering of 10th century Saxons on the box for 'Dux Brittaniorum'
'B's sanctuary from a household of womenfolk, it was nice to see his new set up as over the last few years he hasn't been able to have a permanent table. When we lived in the same town we used to game very regularly and we do still have the odd game now and then when he's up North visiting family.I do find seeing other people's wargaming set ups interesting and it was great to catch up with him and his family again.
A good looking "Man Space" there: tools and toys. Who could ask for more? (other than gaming with a visiting old friend every now and then).
ReplyDeleteYes he uses thee shed for his other hobbies as well.
DeleteAn excellent "man cave," the figures and terrain look great! A wonderful way to spend a day on holiday Tony! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to catch up with him again.
DeleteSpending time with an old wargaming friend is a good way to spend it.
