@phaidknott you put into words what I’ve been feeling for a while.

I got a bad case of looking at all the shiny stuff and the new rules etc. lost all passion for this hobby.

Im going back to my roots. Been making home brew rules and loving it. I’ve been focusing on the periods for history that excite me. Also busted out old LoTR SBG stuff and wizards of the coast Star Wars and have been having a blast.

One sad thing for me has been watching the slow death of 1/72 plastics. They sparked my interest in wargaming in the first place. Zvezda, Italeri, Caesar basically stopped making new sets and their older stuff can be hard to find. HaT is still at it. I know other companies produce but quality isn’t what I would like.
