I am finding that I have been having less and less time for games these days. I am totally out of miniatures and I have been selling off my collection.

Where I have been doing more and more things in the gaming filed is with board games. Little by little there has been more and more creeping into our lives.  Lisa and the kids enjoy them and it is more family inclusive than the miniature games. While it doesn’t offer the hobby aspect that miniature gaming does there is a lot more social interaction. Whereas with a miniatures game there was a lot of prep to play with board and card games there is relatively little.

When there is an itch to play miniature wargames, I have the board games and collectable miniature games to scratch that itch. There is Star Wars miniatures that I enjoy playing with my kids when I need the SF miniatures fix. The for Star ship combat there are quite a few choice that I have on hand and ready to buy: Battleship Galaxies, the  Star Trek Tactics game by Wizkids and the new Star Wars game that Fantasy Flight games is putting together. For my WW2 itch there is Memoir 44 and Tide of Iron. For other historical there are the other Command and Color series of games that I enjoy (such as Battlelore).

Sure I do miss the hobby aspect from time to time. I’ll troll The miniatures page or look longingly at the new offering s from Warlord games.  But that is it.
