And we won't even talk about the LARPers, card gamers, train gamers...
I guess every subculture has to have it's own sub-cliques.

at least once)

That's been my experience too, maybe because so much TV & movie sci-fi
revolves around space battles that it seems like a normal extention?

of FT that sell them.

Agreed, although that *can* backfire.  I've seen gamers walk away from
minis
tables
muttering "I'd never have the time to build all that!"	Another reason
to
love FT: two
minutes splattering paint on a black cloth and you've got your
"terrain."

readily
available for your scenery it helps out.
