I've played all the GDW versions but not the GR/D ones and now understand that I'll never get to them. I will need to do far more than just this, however. But it begins now. Have cut my wargaming magazine subscriptions to just a handful and am not ordering new games like I had. Still have plenty on the bucket list that need playing, however!
