Hey generals,
I wish to ask you about the hobby status on your own countries. Fortunately, people on this forum comes from all around the globe, so I want to know what kind of game system do you use to play for Warhammer.
In Spain, what I know the most, players community broke up when Age of Sigmar appeared. Strongly scattered. Today, there are probably the same number of players (aprox) but all of them dispersed among different editions/rulebooks:
- 6-7th edition
- 8th edition
- 9th Age
- Manuscritos de Nuth (fanmade rulebook)
- Warhammer Reforged (fanmade rulebook)
- Warhammer 8.5 (fanmade rulebook)
- Age of Sigmar
- Kings of War
In addition, there is an unsane rivalry between them: it's very common to find heated disputes on forums and facebook pages in spanish. My question to you all is, what system do you play, what system is the most played in your country? Is there the same situation?
And now, I'll expose my personal point of view. I hate Age of Sigmar. As simply as that. I cannot understand how someone can play a game with such disingenuous, misleading background, clearly created to focus sales on kids and not on hobbists. Honestly, when I see on Instagram mid-old people (25-50 years old) basing their models on round bases, I cannot understand it. There are not many players of this game in Spain (in comparison to 9th Age, for example), or at least, I don't see them. Please, note that I don't hate pleople who play this game, I hate the game itself for that was the point that scattered the community. On the other hand, 9th Age had focused all his efforts on competition, and specifically, on team competition, indicated only for experienced generals. And this is not my way, neither. So, I'll continue playing with 8th edition or Warhammer Reforged.
This is unsane, because the more edition there are, the more dispersed and discouraged is the community. I'm worried about it.
So now, can you write your opinion? I'd include a quiz, but I don't know how to do it. If some admin can help me, I'll be glad.
Thank you.
