Lol, yeah it doesn't tend to be huge here. Battlefront (FoW company) is based here though so that tends to be popular.

My fav quote is "The weirdness factor with the 40k gamers"

Yeah, I liked the 'ancient players are the most normal',

which was slightly ruined by...

'but they are old'.

I played in a small ancients competition last month and noticed this too. I was the youngest by a couple of decades... :) and I've been wargaming for a couple of decades!  :D

Ha! :laugh: Quite funny.  But I was puzzled over the repeated usage of Europe's 'Final Countdown'... ??? Is that what gamers are supposed to listen to?  If so, I've missed something along the line... :;): :D

Nightline is a infotainment program on about 10:30pm each night. I guess a story about grown men (and one woman!) playing with toy soliders, with a smart alec commentary and over the top music was an opportunity too good to resist :D  

Wargaming makes it onto the one of the main news channels once every couple of years or so here, generally when the National competitions are in Auckland (the largest city in NZ).

It's the final countdown! Oh man, classic tune! I thought it was universally popular, it is the song that no matter what genre of music you prefer you can always dance/sing/play too...

We might all be crazy, but I can think of things that are worse addictions.  :D

Ahhh. Time again to wonder how it could be that this site would be uber cool if we talked about soccer/football and knew all of the stats, history, transfers, background, goal differences, league tables, etc! But, wargaming? Not so cool... why?   :p
