So an update:
warhammer fantasy: first game with Andy P on tuesday, looking forward to this!
Infinity - had a quick tutorial with Vince last week and looked good, will have to read the rules, maybe start collecting a band
Warmahordes - haven't had a go yet but would like to at some point
Flames of War - currently collecting a Russian force - watch this space!
SAGA - would like an intro game at some point, thinking about a welsh contingent
Cutlass - when funds and time allows I will get a band together

Great idea!
Reviewing my over-optimistic list:

Bought and painted an Ariadna starter force. Nearly had an intro game too

Waited, and settled on a Jomsviking force. Had a good intro game, looking forward to playing more and perhaps entering the Wyvern tournie in September.

Still want to pick up a Britanan force - might take advantage of the current Indigogo campaign, although changes to the starter sets and armies are in the pipeline so tempted to see what that brings.

Almost finished painting my starter force, but haven't managed to get a game yet.

Still planning to wait for the 6th edition.

Nothing on this.

Nothing on this, although a new rulebook is out soon.
Quite liked the look fo Saga, maybe go for the Normans. Also like the look fo Ambush alley, and The Day of the rangers addon, all Black Hawk down and all that. And Sharp Practice, from the Two Fat Lardies looks good, and has inspired me to re-read my Sharpe books again!

I'd like a look at that too - seems really popular with some of the other "local" groups at the moment.

- Bushido - consider my curiosity piqued by this, the Temple Of Ro Kan(?) drawing me in the most
- Cutlass - Once I get a hold of some weapons then I'll jump on board!
Of my list I have really only found my way in to one new(ish) system and that's Malifaux. I'm finding my time and resources far too divided to keep up with the handful of games I intend to play without moving in to new areas so right now any expansion plans are on hold.
With that said, I do like the look of a couple of new systems that are on the horizon and I will have my first Bushido mini soon so there may be some small steps made towards those.
So how did we all do on this?
For my part...
- Infinity - bought an Ariadna starter and played one game.
- Saga - acquired 4 pts of Vikings/Jomsvikings, and played a handful of games.
- Relics - took advantage of the kickstarter to acquire a Britanan force, but yet to play.
- Bushido - still yet to play, did invest in the Ito kickstarter though.
- 40K - still yet to play.
- Something ancient/historical - played a few games of Sharpe Practice.
- Warpath - bought some Enforcers and had a couple of games with the version 2.0 rules.
- Kings of War - another kickstarter I succumbed to, but yet to play.
In addition I also bought some
Dystopian Legions (looking forward to giving this a go in the new year) and started playing
Necromunda.
Flames Of War
Magic The Gathering
Me and vince had a game of Heavy Gears, didn't try Firestorm, and i'm still finishing the VC for WFB
warhammer fantasy: played 3 games, looking forward to some more
Infinity - haven't got into this
Warmahordes - still haven't had a go yet but would like to at some point - picked up the 2 player battle box
Flames of War - Russian force collected and started painting, couple of games, want to play more of this in the new year
SAGA - nothing yet but will hopefully get a force soon
Cutlass - nothing
lotr - only 1 game this year
others:
Necromunda - having fun with the campaign
Dystopian Legions - got a force, looking forward to playing this soon

Well this year I managed to play more
Malifaux &
Infinity, I picked up a crew and some extras for
Bushido but sadly
Cutlass never happened.
I did however begin playing
Battletech and have recently reformed the fire for
WFB so I have branched out, just not in the direction I had originally planned heh.
