This post was prompted by the shock on the face of a (female)
work colleague when I told her of this practice.
Now the thing I like best about wargaming actually
wargaming. I don’t travel that much with
work but when I do I use the power of the internet to try and find a local
wargamer or club to get a game or two in.
This has resulted in a number of games in Switzerland (against 2
opponents) others in London and Grimsby and, this week, a couple of games in
Portugal.
My dating sites of choice are TMP and LAF. Between them they cover a fairly high
proportion of regular forum using wargamers and also most of the planet.
Sarah was appalled that I had never met Pedro before and had
no idea where he lived yet I was jumping in his car and going off with
him! Everything that one should not do on a blind date. She actually seemed quite worried for me. In fact I had a whale of a time, playing
two good games of Force on Force set in a Portugese colony in Africa in the 60’s. We also had a great chat and I enjoyed
meeting his family and partaking of their excellent hospitality.
So next time you are stray from home and have some time on
your hands try a blind date via an internet forum - you never know you may get
lucky!
