Where do you sit ..... or where do you want to sit?

If the latter;
Gaming 70%
History 30%
Painting zero!

If the former;

Painting 40%

I have around that number. I read somewhere that 'lead rot' is a chemical reaction between lead and fumes given off by wood and therefore by implication, cardboard, so (if true) the inert qualities of the plastic box are just another tick for the RUB.

Enjoying - thanks to all contributors

Many forums have a core of posters, making this one no different.

it can have the unfortunate consequence of giving the impression of a clique, I think the difference here is that all commentators are welcomed and feel part of the hive.

As for posting volume, nothing wrong with gravitating towards and spending time in those places that offer a gentlemanly refuge within the variable environments on the internet.

I do solo and face to face, but greater proportion is solo and I am comfortable with it and enjoy it.

I am pretty much in the camp of' when a unit routs, it is pretty much lost to the commander, especially in a game that is looking at 2 - 3 hours of action. I like the initial rout to be Physically represented to see what they take with them, also if there are reinforcements arriving, then a meeting between them and routers can be justifiably represented.

In some games, units that rout off the table / board as opposed to still being on the table / board at the end of the game, can make a difference in victory points. A halted routed unit as useless as it may be, is still better for subsequent army cohesion, so again, an argument for allowing the rout path of a routing formation to be shown.

I suppose its a bit like a knocked out AFV, is it kept on the table, smoking and providing cover / line of sight obstruction / road blockage, or is it removed to keep a tidy table, I have seen both argued for successfully. 

Tea towels make for good undulation with the geek mat. I always think that bad dice rolls are dealing with unseen undulations!

My game space has a LOT of glass and is currently too hot to use! Boo hiss.

great job. I like the Roket line of products, I use their minimal odour / non-toxic plastic glue for plastic kits.

What a great gaming cabin - that would be my dream solution.

My favourite dice mechanic, seems rather old school and not used much these days, though I note Keith Flint's new Shadow of the Eagles (Napoleonic rules) rules uses 2 average dice to randomly determine retreat after failed combat.

Lovely man, just simply sad news!

I remember when decimal currency was introduced to the UK, my rather wise grandmother described it as a rip, saying that in the old money, you could go to the loo (spend a penny) 240 times for a pound, but with the new pound, you could only go 100 times. True Dat!

Anyone have any experience with using an upside down periscope in order to get a troops eye view?

i.e You are higher than the tabletop but the periscope lower end is at table level.
