OT: Tabletops

PrinzMegaherz · #1 March 29th, 2006, 11:54 AM

Hello everybody,

I just wanted to know which tabletops the seasoned wargamers from the Dom 2 community play and why you prefer a certain system.

I have been playing warhammer 40k for some time (Tau and Blood Angels), but have recently switched to Confrontation because I feel the rules are superior, the models more detailed and you need less money to get a starting army.

So, what do you people play? And what would you think about a Dominions tabletop? I would very much like to collect an abysian army

Does Twilight Imperium count? It's more board game than tabletop strategy game, the upshot being you don't spend your life savings on miniatures, and your weekdays on painting those miniatures.

I play Go sometimes, and I have all the models!

Since my forced move I have not been able to play as many of my old wargames as I used to.

We even had a now defunct game club back in Michigan just for wargames and RPGs. I played a lot of Star Fleet Battles (SFB), World in Flames (WiF), Empires in Arms, Warhammer Fantasy Battle and 40k, Rolemaster, Starfire, Babylon 5 wars, and more. I still have quite a few of the old Metagaming minigames too.

I've been searching high and low for a set of the white ones, myself. No luck so far, so I've had to use red M&Ms.

A LOT of people are switching to confrontation in the portland metro area.

I have in 40k an 8-9k Ork Horde, a dismantled unassembled space marine army, and 3k Necron Army.

Fantasy - Chaos, and Empire.

I haven't played Warhammer in a while. No one I know really plays, and its a pain to get a game, so I stopped really trying.

I assume you mean Portland, Oregon and not Portland, Maine.

We don't really have a "metro area" here.

Lol. But you do have a microbrew or two.
