Have you ever wondered what comes first when starting a new historical wargaming project? Do you choose a set of rules and build your armies to match, or do you collect, paint, and base your miniatures first before searching for the perfect ruleset? In this week's hobby discussion, inspired by a question from viewer Terry Warden, I explore the different ways historical wargamers approach new projects. From rules-first planning to armies-first collecting, and the period-first approach that I personally favour, we'll look at what drives project choices across the tabletop wargaming hobby. Whether you're into historical wargaming, miniature painting, army building, basing miniatures, or researching military history, join the conversation and share your own approach.
