Title: [board] Wanna see something pathetic?
Post by: CountDeMoney on December 17, 2009, 05:59:08 AM
I reorganized my wargame closet:

Man, if I had a live-in girlfriend, she'd be pissed at the loss of so much shoe space.

Anybody have any better storage solution ideas?

Sadly i can only count about 12-15 of those that i own as well.

Neat, I also own at least half of those if not more.

I have a great suggestion for how to store all those. I happen to have plenty of extra space...

Of course, then they might get used, so perhaps that isn't the best solution for you.

Get some plastic tubs that fit the boxes well. You could than place a label on the outside of the tub as to what is inside. You could probably sort tubs by type of game inside (WWI, WWII, etc). It would take up less space and be less prone to accidents.

:yes: Walmart has the huge ones cheap.

use a standard bookshelf for the games you fondle regularly and store the rest in tubs.

Strange how you dan't have any modern classics like Catan, Puerto Rico or War of the Ring. I suppose most of the old timers in Languish aren't into post MTG games like Dominion.

Heh, the reason for the lack of them is that those games are simply impossible to play solitaire.

I found this anniversary edition of Siedler with moulded and painted tiles and pieces for €400. Now I don't like the game and only play it when everybody else at the gaming club insists. But I wanted it, it was pretty.
