Fail for me. Played a number of games but never got a regular game night going.

My resolution is to not make any resolutions about games. I'm just gonna play 'em. Maybe too much, maybe not enough. Nothing in particular, just whatever seems fun at the time. Not buying many isn't a resolution, it's a lifestyle choice.

Total victory.

Other than that, considering my currently work situation that really limits any and all free time, I'm pretty happy with the gaming aspect of my life. I game when I can and the people who I game with are universally awesome. And let me tell you, that is no small thing. We've all gamed with people we weren't too keen on but I like my current circle.


Wow, total 100% victory for me.

I DID finish painting my War of the Rings figures and I did get a gaming computer. Huzzah for me.

Not buying more board game base games. Expansions only.

God help me with Battlelore 2nd Edition and Eldritch Horror...


Fail. I bought Warhammer 40,000: Conquest and ordered Survive just now. Well I did bought Ghost Panzer, but I count that as being Screaming Eagles' expansion, in preparation for Texas Arrows.

I will continue to not buy games as I feel my collection is complete for my purposes.


Small scale success as I only sold two games and I got D&D attack wing as a Christmas present. Not bad...

As mentioned in the other thread:

Last year I resolved to not spend new money on games; only buy things with money gained from selling shelf toads. I tracked my progress here:

Iron Cheapskate 2014

I succeeded.

I have a few more things to add, but I think I'm in a good spot. The main kick in the crotch was all the eBay fees. Ugh.

The man in the Texas desert is asking why you can't spray paint in the winter.

I cringed every time one of those came up. Fun read!

Sometimes, you read something you wrote a year ago and it doesn't look so smart.

I've got a serious ASL itch to scratch. I really like Combat Commander but I've just got to have me some tanks. There are some alternatives I could use as filler- original Squad Leader, Conflict of Heroes, Band of Heroes maybe, but ultimately: if I'm going for tanks and guns, it has to be ASL.

Also Triumph of Chaos:

My neighbour is jonesing to play this Russian Civl War CDG. I guess I'll need to digest the Triumph of Chaos Comrade's Guide

before I feel ready to tackle ToC's cantankerous rulebook at the table.

I did reasonably well. Got a lot of work done on The Book, although not as much as I'd like. I bought only one game (outside of Essen), and played 10 games out of my collection that I hadn't played before. I did more blogging than I set myself. I've read close to 150 books and articles, although not all from cover to cover. However, I hardly got rid of any games and miniatures, and although I pruned my book shelves, those books aren't all gone yet. It was much easier not to buy games than not to buy books. I still bought quite a few books that were not about The Book. But overall not bad.

Oh yes that is a bitch to learn (much harder than ASL, IMO).

I got so fed up with jumping through two rulebooks, I made my own summary of play. PM me your email address and I'll send it to you. It is still the greatest CDG game for pure atmosphere. There's these wildly swinging military punches that suddenly don't connect so you trip over and the enemy stomps on your hands. Absolutely great fun. Comrades Guide isn't really necessary.
