I have moved to a new city(last year)and after 2 months of talking to a guy about starting to play he(and the family) came over last night to play the game. His kids and mine play together a lot so no big deal. Well we're getting ready to start, the armies were ready just needed to put them on the table. His wife says "can all of us play a card game first?" Well 4 hours later "We have to go and feed the kids" followed by "maybe next time you guys can play that miniature game"
I also heard the phrase "miniatures are okay but dice are much better and more fun"(a RPG player which is fine just I would rather push minis around a table)
Just had to get that off my chest and let everyone else know it could be worse. I have not been able to play a miniature game in over a year. As there are no players in the city I moved to but I almost had one. Maybe next month
Good luck with your games everyone
