To do the things we do, and play the games we play we need opponents... and friends. Quite often people will tell you it's the playing the games that are important, or painting the miniatures. Possibly even reading the fluff, yeah even 'fluff binnies' need some love. We talk so often about the mechanics of the hobby, that often we forget it's all possible only because of the person standing on the other side of the table, that individual we hope to grind into the dirt as our all conquering army mercilessly butchers them to a man, women and child. It's OK though, because they're thinking they'd like to do exactly the same to us! the scoundrels!!! These opponents often become trusted friends. People we love to pit our wits against. They help us hone our own skills, they share in our triumphs and normally revel in our loses... because they're normally at their hands. They talk hobby with us, and we can waste our lives with them talking a good game, when we could be playing a good game. they make all those hours sitting in that uncomfortable chair painting little toy soldiers seem worth it... and quite often we forget to thank them.
