The reason for the growing popularity of physical wargaming may, in part, be the proximity of the opponents and the atmosphere at a war gaming venue. There is the power of emotions in a live event that has yet to be matched in the digital world. The greater reason may be the pleasure of researching and creating scale figures. This is a hobby in itself. Although there is a growing supply chain that can offer the wargamer a supply of everything in completed form, many wargamers enjoy the construction and finishing of the essential items of wargamers kit.
There are also occasional wargamers who are more interested in building a unique collection of detailed and beautifully painted scale figures and equipment.
