Fran (Angry Lurker) and Ray (Don't Throw a 1) put this up on their blogs ages ago it seems. I just finally got around to putting together my answers
1. Favourite War gaming period and why?
ACW - Primarily because its a transition war with armies trying to mix old tactics with new weapons and trying to figure out what would work.
2. Next period, money no object?
WWII 28mm Skirmish - With lots of cool buildings with interiors to really get into the action.
3. Favourite 5 films?
Galaxy Quest - Tim Allen at his best
Buckaroo Banzai
Zulu
Star Wars - The first film I really saw on my own
Raiders of the Lost Ark - Because who doesn't want to be Indiana Jones?
4. Favourite 5 TV series?
My wicked category I don't watch that much TV. Figure I would define this as series that I will continue to watch long after its cancelled.
M*A*S*H
Star Trek
Dead Like Me (Why do they cancel the best shows?)
Star Gate: SG1
Eureka
5. Favourite book and author?
I can't pick one book let alone one author so I'll narrow it down to two. Can't get it down to one book.
