Though you're a better man than me as making space for new games is very tricky, I just can't let go of the feeling that I lost out on money somewhere (Will is very good at disabusing of this notion!).Son of Baalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02077653307375408805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628029279051179516.post-21091858177995643812014-03-18T01:48:37.763-07:002014-03-18T01:48:37.763-07:00Well, youve at least inspired me to make a decisio...Well, youve at least inspired me to make a decision on my infinity stuff, im gonna try and move it on to a loving home and clear some storage space.<br />i think its about a year since i first tried it, played 4 or 5 games in the first fortnight and havent played again since.

I think getting back into a monthly gamesday may help to get more of the old ones off the shelf.Son of Baalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02077653307375408805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628029279051179516.post-65152328567033365982014-03-17T10:38:00.543-07:002014-03-17T10:38:00.543-07:00I would play battletech all day, everyday.

But as someone whos flittered about between a few different armies, moving them on when i got to a stage where i decided i was 'done' with them, it was a bit more centered on 'when is an army finished' rather than looking at games collections as a whole.<br /><br />Anyway, I suppose the boring answer its its probably a bit of everything you suggested.<br /><br />I know from a personal point of view ive got the following games i 'own' currently on my 'really want to play' list:<br />40K (including kill team and 30k along with 'normal' games)<br />WFB<br />X-wing<br />Netrunner<br />Dreadball<br /><br />Given ill be able to get 1 maybe 2 gaming sessions in a regular fortnight thats not really enough time to give all of those a fair crack of the whip, let alone the board games other folks have got that i would like to play.<br />The monthly gaming evenings did seem to work for a while as i was able to say in advance 'right, that night is when im gaming so i can put other stuff aside for any of the other evenings/weekends that month'.<br />Maybe its worth trying to get a broad 'ELF seasonal calender' going? Try and prioritise certain games or types of games for maybe a 2 month or 3 month or quarterly period?Rich H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15746125347482871191noreply@blogger.com
