Reply To: Will Rank and Files games have renewed interest when the world reopens?

Army-based wargames are *expensive* and, without a core group of players, it’s not worth spending $100 or $200 just to find no one interested in the game, even if they have an interest in a rank-and-file game. I think that’s why, in the last few years, low-commitment miniature skirmish games (eg. Frostgrave) have become popular. And, as always, miniature boardgames (eg. Zombicide) are popular because only one person needs to buy into the game.

That said, we had a similar discussion on Dakka, and the only way to get your favorite army game played is to work at creating local interest in it. It may be with a FLGS, it may be with or by starting a wargaming club. It doesn’t matter if everyone else is playing it if you’re not, but also vice-versa.
