Lol. I don’t think it will end up a war of words @Gaz as I think this has been a very open and informative chat.

I think getting into any hobby can seem daunting or inaccessible at times. I must admit I’ve found trying to get into photography.

I think the problem I have found is the people you talk to think you are at the same level of knowledge as them. Unfortunately this is not the case, so like I said before it’s been trial and error and watching lots of YouTube videos and at the same time taking an introductory course.

Back on topic I would like to see more genuine videos made from the likes of BoW and say Miniwargaming on historical gaming. There are others, but I would class both of these magazine  outlets at the fore of our hobbies digital scene.

I know @oriskany and @piers along with Toofatlardies have tried to inject the openness of historical wargames but I feel we could do more. What do you think?
