Being into historical wargaming is, let’s be honest, a little geeky—and that’s exactly why it’s worth celebrating. Too often, our hobby has been dismissed as strange or childish, but in reality, it’s creative, social, and deeply rewarding. From painting Napoleonic regiments and building ancient armies to researching history and re-fighting battles on the tabletop, historical wargaming is about passion, community, and imagination.
In this video, I talk about why we should never be embarrassed by our hobby. Wargaming isn’t just about toy soldiers—it’s about storytelling, history, art, and creativity. Every miniature painted, every scenario written, and every battle fought teaches us patience, problem-solving, and attention to detail. Far from being “just a game,” it’s a hobby that connects us to the past and to each other.
If you’ve ever been told your hobby is “weird,” this is a reminder that your geeky side is a strength, not a weakness. Historical wargaming makes us more curious, more creative, and more connected. And it’s something we should celebrate proudly.
