The 2019-20 Games To Play List and Highlights of past games 2004-2018

 A List of Games to be played from 2019 to 2029

New Years is a time for reflection of things past and future as well as a time for  lists.  So I started to write a list of many of the games I would like to run or play in 2019-20, it is very ambitious and I will be lucky to get through half of them!  I think it might better be described as a list of what I hope to play in the next decade (so I changed the title)!   Other than the first three they are not in any order of priority.  I have included pictures of work in progress or previous games for each listing.  The inclusion of the previous games have turned this list into a history of the games I have played since 2004, when I first bought a digital camera.  As a result it has become very lengthy with lots of pictures and it spawned a few separate blogs for some of the games.   I have added the approximate date in brackets when I last played the rule system or genre.  Those with no dates have yet to be played.



1.    Doctor Who Miniatures Games (DWMG) by Graeme Dawson in 28mm: a Christmas game planned for January 2019. Read on for pictures of  "Terror at Devil’s Bay" planned for May 2019 (Test game May 2018), plus pictures from some of my early DWMG game dating back to 2006 including the games I have run at Cangames.

3.    WW II in 15mm which supplanted 6mm and 20mm in my geographic area as the most popular scale for this time period.  I have used  various rules including: Micro Armor the Game (MATG), Flames of War (FoW I, II or III), Battlefront (April 2017, see blog on this) or Battlegroup in 20mm (November 2018).  See my separate blog entry for a list of 15mm W.W.II games I have played.   I am planning to play in a 15mm Stalingrad campaign in early 2019.

4.    WW II in 1/285 or 6mm scale (Micro Armor) which was my primary game / genre from 1978 to 2007 originally using WRG rules and now using mainly Spearhead (SH) or Micro Armor the Game (MATG).  It has now taken a back seat to some other games but is still in the mix of my top 10 games. Games below set in either North Africa, the Russian front or the Western Europe (March 2017). A D-Day game in 6mm is a long standing objective, maybe it will happen in 2019. See my separate blog entry for a list of Micro Armor games I have played.

It has really morphed into a list of what I will play in the next decade! I should also add in SAGA Age of Magic which has become the game we are playing most at the end of 2019.
