Do you typically utilise an umpire/games master?
No, I make sure I only play with people that are laid back so the need to arbitrate is not there.
It would be handy for hidden deployment though!

Do you tend to play games with one regular opponent regularly?
I don’t play much.
Mostly solo for a while but possibly regularly with the same guy yes, just started.

How long do your games typically last or want them to last?
2 hours or so, that involves chatting though!
That suits an evening after work just fine.

Do you utilise a campaign system and generate battles in that way?
Not yet, I am working on a campaign system with the help of my gaming buddy though.
So soon yes.

Do you design scenarios regularly?
Not regularly, but every game we play is scenario driven.

Do you pick armies from an army list up an agreed point maximum for an ensuing battle and then pick or dice for terrain just before playing?
No, they are pre-determined as per the scenario.
However the campaign will grant us a pool of troops to pull from which may be capped by a points system I am also working on.

This is meant to be specific to your regular typical games, whether it be at a club or on a Sunday afternoon in a friends garage.

Do you typically utilise free rules, scenarios and, army lists?
Totally, we play KR 16 and it is all free:

Are you willing to try anything at least once even if their is a cost associated?
No.
I only play things that appeal and my funds are very limited, I won’t jump into something new unless I have played it a few times before, normally by borrowing others models.

Or regardless of cost, do you read blurbs, reviews and other info first before making a decision as to whether or not to give them a try?
Yup.
