(Being a series of articles relating to the hobby of historical miniatures wargaming, meaning to bring out thought and discussion. Sir Deven is in fact a very extraordinaire wargamer; his thoughts wander much on the deeper side of the hobby - often nothing more than early morning ramblings and musings. Come enjoy his little diary of sorts as he explores this hobby of historical miniatures wargaming.)

Some more random musings for you all.

Unfortunately, we live in a society based on instant-gratification, where patience is much more than a mere virtue.

"Ahhhh... this looks so amazing! I can do so much with these miniatures. What a great period of history. I could have such grand battles. All my game-mates will love me even! Oh boy, the things I will be able to do. I could DO this!".

Uumm... no. No, no, noooooo!

Been thinking a lot as of late about my NEW projects for the year - I think we all do this when January rolls around. So many kool new rules and periods to choose from. However, I must admit that I am not one to be so easily tempted with all the NEW toys that seem to proliferate the hobby these days - so I tell myself anyway. However, the real question that confronted me was not what NEW period to get in to, but rather, do I really  need to do anything that new? Do I really need to start a new period/conflict?
