What if....

I would have to say ... ECW. Tough choice though, because I love my naps and my soudan project as well. WWII keeps me interested at times, but I always come back to ECW!

Remember - they said you couldn't change.

I mean, my answer would change depending on what veil of imagination is draped across my dreaming soul.

Was it that tasty bit of bird perhaps....

Okay - you all realize I said 'period' not war - right?

While I do love my AZW, Naps, ECW etc I would have to go with Ancients.

Well, that makes it easy - "Post-Medieval". Vague enough to fit in all the stuff I love.

What if - one day you woke up and all your minis were gone. In their place you find a note saying:

The wargaming gods have decided mortals may only choose one period to game and one period only. Once it is chosen it cannot be changed. what will it be?

Which period would you choose?

Actually, just got my lawyer hat on and noticed a loophole, gaming only. Since I am involuntarily banished into the realm of the hobbyist then I can't paint whatever i like.

Well caught Parus Ater.

As to 'periods'...Aren't they usually grouped as Ancients, Medieval/Ren, Horse & Musket, Colonial, and Modern? :roll:

I believe Mr J and his pleasing bassy tones said in the WAB books that "Ancient" warfare was everything up until the end of the Medieval Period in terms of style.

I am a mere mortal, i cannot dispute him.

Okay smarty pants... :lol:

The gods have deemed the periods to be as follows - Ancients, Medieval/Ren, Horse & Musket, Colonial, and Modern. Or do you want the gods to go from 'period' to 'war'? :twisted:
