Hello friends of the aerodrome! Do any of you have a pet? A cat? A dog? A bird even! If you do then they've probably interfered with your gameplay once in a while. I know my cat Max has a few kills under his belt himself.;) I would love to hear your own stories if you have any.

Thanks for the reply Rich. I also enjoy making model train layouts (N scale to be exact!), and i'm really sorry for your train-related loss. See you soon!

I think, despite the fact that I love our dog very much, if that happened to me, I would have a nice new animal skin rug.

that said, I have just as nasty a story I heard from someone else. This guy was going somewhere for the weekend, and told his brother to watch the dog while he was gone. So, his brother then proceeds to leave as well, while the dog who was left alone proceeded to demolish/devour the poor bugger's Forgeworld Warhound Titan as well as a decent (but mostly repairable) portion of his collection.

I've two cats (a male and a female).

They don't seem interested to became WoW aces but sometimes they appreciate the battlefield open space to stretch down on it, shutting down mines without a specific preference for German or Allied models. If I forgot to close the door of the room where we are playing, of course.

I think they could be introduced as a new house rule. Something like an unexpected storm (the first weather rule?) that end the game in advance and assign the win to ..... :cool:

I've recently taken my WoW stuff over to a buddy's place for 4 and 5 man skirmishes. We play outside on the porch, or set the tables up on his lawn. His cat, Iggy, is nearly a constant menace. It adds a whole new element to the game: Watch the enemy, make sure someone doesn't slip in behind you while you chase that burning Camel, and always have one eye on the furry menace.

When my dad and I play, we play in our sunroom because a lot of times we don't finish our games on the same days we finish, and since our sun room has a door its perfect for Wings of War

OK, I will share....

I have a couple of stories.

I had a female Cat that one time prior to having kittens, stole several of my 'Treasures' and put them in her nest. Not sure how she was going to nurse a T34/85 tank but she was sure going to try.

Another Cat, a few years later, used to like to perch on top of the cupboard and take a nap. This boardered on the game table. During one session, he fell so sound asleep he fell off his 'perch' and landed on the edge of the table, with the affect of everything on it flying in all directions. I think we are still occassionally finding micro armour bits and peices from that one.

Rearranging the layout is probably the most common.

The worst was one game, while we were taking a break, we experienced a chemical attack in the form of a furball left on the main objective. It wasn't my model, but it was sold at the next convention.

Lastly, my wife came up with this one...
Its called Bomb Beatle. We have these large Rhinosorus Beatles here. She would find one and drop it on the game table. She would say 5 minutes or some other time. At the designated time, it became a crater, along with whatever favorite figure youo had there. Have you ever seen a bunch of grown guys trying to shoo a beatle all over the table. Deffinately a different dimention. I guess it would fit right in if you were playing starship troopers.:)

Luckily, my hobby room has a door and my two cats prefer not being around strangers. Still, it doesn't matter how well you vacuum a house, one or two of their little thin hairs usually seem to show up as I paint any miniature. So, yeah I'm always on alert for the "enemy".

Years ago, I used to play modern micro armor with a guy. He had a dog. Once when he was ignoring the dog during a game, several miniatures turned up missing. Afterwards while cleaning up the yard, he discovered the remains of several Abrahms and a Hind.

So, here's a riddle........
Where does a thirty pound cat lay? :confused:

Anywhere his' twenty-nine pound brother isn't. :D

(& that's only two of five!) :eek:

Needless to say, we go out to game, felines run the house.

I am rather lucky with my cat as he does not tolerate strangers in his house and will go and hide after spitting at any body who come near him, so it is no problem gaming, however he always seams to know when I am painting some thing difficult and choses that moment to demant instant attention (or he will start walking on my model table knocking over pain or sitting on fragile models ect), such as more food or cuddels. I do not know how many paint brushes I have had dry up on me because of this.

Rich. Your cats obviously don't head butt, shoulder charge doors, or pick locks. Salem can even shift a full metal rubbish bin backed up by a set of Boules to get through a door, but then he is a witches cat.

My most memorable pet attack was while playing a game of Wizkids Pirates (lite plasticard ships) and my friend let his parrot out. The bird promptly flew over to our game table and hovered. The down draft the bird created was impressive. Completely cleared the table of all models and tokens.

I was winning too :(
