Put on a game yesterday (Zombie) for some of the boys from Posties Rejects, usually Postie umpires nearly all (95%) of our games but now and again some of the group put on games and this time it was me and I made sure Postie attended so he could actually game for a change.The game took a couple of days to prepare (scenery and figures), also familiarising yourself with the rules (never played with them before), cooking (optional), 6 hours to play and basically hoping to satisfy the people who play your game because if you don't game with your figures or people don't want to play, what's the point?
Afterwards the boys said they enjoyed it and went home happy and tired and stuffed but it does give you an appreciation for the umpires who put on games with figures and scenery they painted (and sometimes see damaged and mistreated by others) but usually only get to see others play with them.So in conclusion be nice to umpires as without them there would a lot more solo wargaming out there and its not as fun as it sounds.
