The importance of toys

 I’ve found the war gaming figure, as humble as can be, has the ability of inspiring ideas and getting you to conjure characters and setting scenes with possible conflict.

With my 40mm toy finds I can generate simple but pleasing skirmishes. When it comes to playing with the chits and/or paper armies, I have to work a lot more harder to get the same catalyst.  Some times I have to take an existing subject and twist it for my needs, that being said if I go for a set encounter (ie Alegria) I like to play that to the best of my ability.

I am currently searching for my next project and the above has been in my mind. If I go for the mass skirmish or small battle it will have to be chits/representations paper based.   As with the 40mm I’ll be writing down possible ideas and looking for character hints within.

As to the period being played even a fantasy version will require some reading and thought.  So into the rabbit hole I dive!
