It’s that time again; what period was played the most? And, who hogged the gaming table with the most games?

| Another Napoleonic Mega Game in 2024! |
To begin though, I’ve changed the way I record things slightly, now concentrating on the number of games people put on rather than the number of weeks they are played over as I feel that’s probably fairer overall.
2024 saw 27 games played (counting tonight’s game at Rupert's) and covered 13 different periods or sub periods, so we are still very active.
The most popular period was Colonial and this is a tricky one as I’ve incorporated a few sub periods in this, so as well as my Boer War and NW Frontier I’ve added in Matt’s Formosa Campaign games (I thought it sounded Colonial) and also Matt’s Sino/Japanese War (again sounds Colonial) If you strip Matts games out then Colonial would rank as third most popular.

Joint second place goes to WW2 (there’s a surprise Mark!) and Medieval (there’s another surprise Steve!) But of course if we re-jig Colonial then WW2 and Medieval would come out as joint winners……..you decide………

Player wise, three of us put the most games on, Mark, Matt and Me with 5 games apiece. Given that we agreed that we would all confine ourselves to 6 weeks of table time, so roughly 3 games, us three have hogged the table limelight at the possible expense of others. We must try to be mindful and let others have more of a go in 2025 perhaps. For example, Phil and Mike W only put one game on each all year and Mikey only managed two games. I know that there were mitigating circumstances with Mike W on grandchildren minding and Phil’s ME playing up so it’s not all bad. So, well done everybody.
