What do you hope to achieve as a wargamer?
« am: 16. Dezember 2008 - 17:20:41 »

If you could choose one aspect of your wargaming to improve,what would that be?For some it might be to be a better painter,paint more,learn better tactics,play more games etc.It can be anything.

For myself I want to improve on sportmanship.This I feel is my weakest point.As a young man I was very active in sports and that continued  into my adulthood in the army.To be emotionally involved,along with very competative is a virtue to have in sports,but does not translate very well on the table top.For the most part I\'m nice on the table,but then sneaks in the competative animal from time to time leading into immature outbursts and reactions.Later I am ashamed of my actions and wished I had reacted better. :( My goal is one day for people to call me a great player and to mean that not by victories on the table,but rather the fun they had playing with me.Sportsmanship I believe is the highest virtue that any player can have and not how many games he wins.I hope one day to achieve this.I still have work to do.I\'m 40 now,and still need to learn that lesson better. :growup:

I would like to paint up miniatures faster.
I\'m happy with almost all aspects of my hobby but not with the speed I have when it comes to painting. But that is not because I cannot paint or don\'t like it. I think I paint some normal tabletop standard and IF I get started I have fun, too. But the problem is that I seldom simply start to paint instead of doing other non-permanent things like playing computer games or watching TV after which I got a guilty conscience sometimes. Or on the other side I let those things distract me too easily. This result in armies needing a good amount of time before I can finish them. I wish to be more strong-willed regarding painting so that I finish things more often and faster.

Machen statt schnacken! .. ehhm .... More \"Doing it\" instead of \"Planning to do it\". Especially regarding terrain.

Meine Figuren und Geländestücke in einem einheitlichen Aufbewahrungssystem platzsparend verstauen. Alles ist aufgeräumt, und wenn ich eine neue Figur kaufe, dann hat sie bereits ihren Platz, bevor ich sie bezahlt habe.... :gamer: :chinese:

I\'d like to be happy with what I can do at a time  :growup:
Painting faster only will not solve the problem imo. The problem to solve is immoderateness  ;(
Playing to many systems and to many periods/armies and scales makes it a mess  :borg:
The second thing would be sportsmanship, but that is a problem within the game, the other is not.

I want the same as Mehrunes,
I paint to slow, do to many other short-time things instead of painting (playing pc, dvds, reading)
I get distrated easily

Of course for those who know my gaming situation, my highest aim is to play more often, but sadly, thats sth, which i can´t solve myself

I\'m unable to built proper terrain. Have to learn it by doing it again and again in 2009 :)

Ich möchte eine schöne Zeit mit meinen Kumpels verbringen, spielen, toll bemalte Figuren bestaunen, schönes Gelände haben und reden...über neue Projekte z.B.

Take over the world?

Other than that I agree 100% with Driscoles. That\'s my definition of the perfect hobby. Painting faster wouldn\'t hurt either.

Ich glaube, der Satz von Driscoles ist eigentlich die Baseline. Ich bin mehr auf die Frage eingegangen, was ich verbessern könnte.

Ich möchte gerne meinen Output erhöhen was fertigstellen von Armeen, Gelände und Spielen an sich angeht. Ich bin zu schnell abgelenkt vom Internet. Das möchte ich verbessern.
