Wargaming is ...

A recent question on the Society of Ancients forum set me thinking.  The question was: "How do you define wargaming?".  Most of the replies were quite long, and a bit serious, but it seemed to me that a few pithy replies might define my hobby better.  So here are my slightly tongue-in-cheek thoughts.

Wargaming is ...

• Something people do with toys.
• Niche and tribal.
• A way to pass lots of time.
• Something you talk about more than you do.
• Always good for an argument.
• A relatively cheap hobby that wargamers think is expensive.
• Something people like to spend their money on.
• Having a lot of unpainted & unused toys.
• Of inordinate monetary value (especially when selling off old toys on eBay).
• Something your partner approves of as it's "harmless".
