What are wargamers’ pet hates (and are we all guilty of them)?
In this light-hearted hobby chat, I finally tackle a question from the comments: the little things in tabletop historical wargaming that make us twitch… even though we secretly love the hobby to bits. From unpainted miniatures defeating beautifully painted armies, to demo games at shows with no labels, to the eternal menace of power dice throwers and “touchy-feely” movement, we’re holding up a friendly mirror to the quirks we’ve all seen across the table.
This isn’t about calling anyone out, it’s about sharing a laugh over the habits, shortcuts, and oddities that are part of the tabletop wargaming experience. Whether you’re into historical miniatures, painting armies, attending wargames shows, or just enjoy hobby discussion, you’ll definitely recognise a few of these!
