Reply To: "Golden Age of Wargaming"….perhaps not?

I think we’re definitely in a golden age of miniature quality. Both in terms of model and the ancillary product such as paints, scenary etc.

For games though, has there ever been a golden age? It’s easy looking back with nostalgia, but there have always been lots of games, but only a select few that appeal to the individuals tastes. We have more exposure to new games now, but individual tastes mean most of those won’t appeal, or they just aren’t that good to begin with. Again, much like it’s always been.

What we have is a golden age of access to information. It’s much easier to find out about a product prior to purchase than going blindly off a magazine advert, and that has to be a good thing.
