| Introduction | Yes, I am a female wargamer. There aren't many of us around, but we make up in quality what we lack in numbers. I mainly play games using the TooFatLardies rules; mostly Chain of Command and Sharp Practice but also Infamy, Infamy and I Ain't Been Shot, Mum occasionally. I also like Alien Squad Leader and Frostgrave. Not really done much with Stargrave, though. I sometimes play HoTT and I have an interest in Cthulhu games and A Very British Civil War. I also play Saga 2 (including Age of Magic) sometimes, plus Sword and Spear and its Fantasy version. I've been playing Lion Rampant recently, as well as Dead Man's Hand, Honours Of War and In Her Majesty's Name. Looking to play more Pulp games next year. |
