[Another Wargamer]

Interest in history is what brought me into this hobby.  Unfortunately, the very first gaming group that I was exposed to was and still is one of the worse.  I endured gaming in that group for almost a year since I was new to the hobby and didn’t know anyone else.  The group ruined my Napoleonic gaming experience with their constant complaints, bickering, rule lawyering… waste of precious gaming time.  The group age range was 40+ years old.  Finally, I gave up one day and moved on to some solo gaming and made the effort to meet new gamers.  These days I game in medieval, dark ages, wild west, darkest Africa and a little bit of fantasy.  Due to the poor introduction to historical gaming, I have not been able to get back to Napoleonic period.
