I still have The Year of the Rat. Haven't played it in years. Somewhere on the shelves. It's so often just history or love. You don't think about it often if at all.
Storage is often a problem. I inadvertently opened a cupboard whilst looking for socks and found an entire impi of Zulus that I had forgotten about. The best solution for storage is an understanding wife. Many of us who are miniature wargamers have struggled with deeply loved women who have exclaimed "You nutter, you have been buying colonial figures again". I can only suggest that true love will find a rocky path. I've had seventeen years of this, no understanding of wargames, but still very pretty. I've never understood what she has got against Zulus. A man can never have enough Zulus..
I would be interested in seeing your storage solution for your magazine game collection. Boxes? Hanging File Folders? Just standing up on a book shelf? Ziplocks pinned to the wall? Other?
I have a 4 drawer filing cabinet with hanging files plus 8 boxes on the floor and about 10 stacking desk trays on the floor. I have F&M, Moves Operations, and stuff in addition to the games. Not a great solution. It's a bitch finding stuff.
@@MeanderingMikesManCave It's the miniatures, mostly 28mm that I have found troublesome. They take up even more space than boardgames. Short of buying Alaska I am pretty much screwed. I keep buying more wardrobes but my wife has begun to notice. She wanders into them expecting Narnia but it's normally a collection of SPI games from the seventies. She nearly lost an eye when Patton's Third Army fell on top of her. She has been a tad frosty ever since. Narnially appropriate as I foolishly said. Sometimes I think my wife has no sense of humour.

@@localcitizen3531, for the stackable desk trays, how many magazine games does it typically hold per tray?
