Wargaming and Military History are the interests I pour most of my spare time into. Check out Alan Millicheap’s site for a good description of this hobby, and why one person chooses to spend his time on it. Broadly speaking the hobby means I'm interested in wargaming figures (2nd Tabor of Regulares of Tetuán), Modelling (e.g. Wooden Buildings) and wargames rules (e.g. Crossfire, Shako, DBx, Field of Glory, Campaigns). Currently I'm keen on the Crossfire rules although I've quite a few armies for other periods and sets.
