It is almost a year since I began this website and the year has seen profound changes as well as tiny ones. Time is about change. Time adds or takes away but nothing remains untouched.

That is part of the magic of collecting. If we can hold onto the things, collections increase, skills develop, knowledge expands. What do we want? After 5 years, we will have more, after 10, more still.

So that is how miniature wargaming works. No matter what you do, time is the necessary expenditure. You must spend time to create the materials you need and then wargaming becomes a rough approximation of what happens across time.

I started this website with no clear conception of what would go in it but time has shown it to increase. If I do not renew my site, it will cease to exist. Time allows creation and destruction. There are millions of new people in the world. One of them is my daughter. And the old man is older still.

Do collections give one the feeling of clinging to time? Do they provide a sense of growth? I can revisit and revise the information I have presented to date. What does the future hold? After so many years, where would we like to be? What would we want to accompany us?
